How many dubias and crickets?

So I remember saying asking about putting dubias with crickets, but I dont remember who. Well I was thinking about ordering 100-200 1/2in dub and was going to put them in with 100-200 crickets. But my question is how many 1/2 dub should I feed Ringo and Freckles. Freckles has been a eating machine and eating anywhere between 15-20 a day. Ringo is being picky again

Crickets and dubs

The dubias grow slow so get as many as you think you need for a two week period unless you want to start breeding them. Cricket it all depends what size they are eating and how many. I just bought 200 medium sized 1/2" or so bigger for my guys they will be gone in a week. But I am mixing them with the dubias to get them into eating those. I just started breeding them.... Although they are easy and cheap they don't get my guys attention to eat like crickets do.

The pet store gives us 3/4 in crickets. Ringo is now 9 months, Freckles is 3y/o. These crickets seem very small to me.

Well I ordered 296 3/4 dubias roaches, 5 females, 5 males (adults) though dubiasdeli.com which should be here Wednesday or Thursday. I was going to dump the 296 3/4 size roaches in with the 200 crickets I have. But the males and females in a seperate container.

296? I know it's technically an even number, but how odd!! Why 296? Not 250 or 300, but 296?? lol
