They are pretty cheap. I got 5 pods last week and all but one small worm made it. I got all sixes, from .5" to 1.5" and now are growing now.
I'd definitely buy more from them.

I bought mine from mulberry and wasnt a bad deal. They came in and didnt havge a single dead one. I bought two containers of the adult sized ones... which they werent at full growth but they werent really little. Either way just be prepared for stinky poop and lots of it xD your gonna be like... I just emptied that!?!?!

i hear dubias being massively loved in these forums... but theyre EXPENSIVE?
do they reproduce often or what? is it cost efficient?

 

[Leroux2008]

Ive never bought dubias... Im scared of roaches XD I've heard lots of Chameleons LOVE them though. Ive also heard that they are one of the cleanest feeders go figure =p

 

[wontbme]

but what makes them so popular... i dont get it. theyre expensive...
crickets run like 6 cents a pop and dubias are like 1 dollar each almost?

 

[Leroux2008]

well like I said super clean and the chameleons love them and they are alot bigger than crickets so of course the price will be more XD Other than that I realy cant tell you why else the price is so high.... I dont sell them nor by them XD If you really wanted to try them though I would just buy a litlte bit and see if your chameleons like them.

wontbme, 6 cents a cricket? It's 3 cents where i am

 

[wontbme]

well i buy 500 at a time... i paid 16.65 for 500 with some coupons and what-not.
i'd do more but i cant see myself keeping 1k alive... it'd last me months and im sure they'll die

1000 Dubia nymphs can be purchased for around $60 to $80. That's 6 to 8 cents each. The nice thing about them is that you can grow them to a size where 2 or 3 can be a full days meal for an adult cam. The same cham might eat 8 or 10 crickets every day. Even if you pay 4 times your cricket price for dubias, you probably spend the same amount either way as long as you let your dubias grow. This doesn't even take into consideration what you'll save if you let them become adults and breed them. I have some extras if you want to buy some.

I only buy like 100 max at a time XD XD Id prolly buy more if I had a bigger tub to keep them in... but cickets start to smell when they die off and I dont want to take the chance of kiling my whole lot.

 

[wontbme]

i have a large aquarium tank... so yeah. all i need now is tons of cardboard so they dont kill eachother off.

and selling dubias? i live in IL... you?
what are your rates? aslong as theyre good and you teach me how to gutload them properly i'll definitely buy them man.
