Dubias

Well today I put Dubias in Nelson's home for the first time.. He just stares at them. I have had them in Ben's home he has stared at them for three days eating the crickets and not the dubs. Hoping they come around soon......

LOL!! sounds like it's the first time he has ever seen one!!

Noogie wont eat any kind of worm, I guess because he doesnt know they are food, and they dont move around enough

It tried forever ( months ) to get my panther Gizmo to eat dubia and he just refused, one day he wasnt eating crickets so I just showed him a dubia, he snatched it up and has been hooked ever since LoL.

I've heard that if you put them on their backs they wriggle more

...

I have tried knocking them on their back so they legs move and might catch their attention. Ben was raised on Dubias from the breeder. I just recently got the nerve to start breeding them. Deathly afraid of them but coming around SLOWLY. lol They will come around in time I hope....

Oh my

Now my mean Nelson that always hisses and lunges at me, was just trying to reach for me to come out. Now I am scared of him since the last time when he molested my arms... lol his colors recently have become so pretty. Aqua barring with Cinnamon brown. His greens are becoming very pretty also.
