Okay I have a 12 month old female who is gravid at the moment and a 7-8 month old male as well. How many Dubia should I feed them per day? And size recommendations? They are both able to eat a small adult size or large nymph with no problems getting them down. Thanks everyone, I'm new to Dubias and so far am LOVING that they don't smell like crickets do!
 
Around the same amount (by weight) that you were feeding crickets. As for size smaller than the distance between the eyes is what most of us do.
 
Usally (with my panthers anyway) they tell me how much they will eat. Because there will either be some left or not. My gravid female has slowed her eating down. So she "May" eat 3 a day right now. But has been able to eat 6-8 a day.
 
This forum has helped me so much!

Thanks! I'm glad you mentioned as big as between their eyes because I was ready to fed them an adult that was a bit small but still, adult size. My Gravid female is a porker still! I mean she is HUGE and she will still eat as much as she can get her hands [read: tongue] on! I think she was a goldfish in her past life lol.
