Have you had good results with them @MissSkittles!? I’ve been doing some light research to see if they would be a good option but I hadn’t made a decision yet.Nice to officially meet you both/all. We can’t have dubia, but we can have discoid here.
DUCKIESSSSSSS omg. I feel like I should have been raised on a farm with baby animals. They are sooooo cute. Is Camile a doxie?I’m Gloria! I am an art teacher in southern Missouri. Here is a photo of me and my dog Camile (full name Chameleon) and me with some baby ducks our FFA kiddos hatched last week!
Yes, I have for the most part. They don’t fly or climb very well, so I keep them in a plastic bin in the garage. They like it hot to breed. I keep them bioactively on a couple of inches of organic soil mix with dwarf white isopods and springtails. They have bred better for me this way, so I assume they like it. I’ve had my colony for about 4 years. There’s been a couple of times that my colony has grown too big, so I’ve sold some off. Right now some of the older ones have died off and it was expected, so I had bought some to replace them to add some different genes. I have had some escapees (due to my fault) and they have not infested my home. Every month or two I remove the adults to sift out the nymphs, which I keep in a separate bin.Have you had good results with them @MissSkittles!?

Fantastic news. I hadn’t found any good detailed information on how their nutrition compares, so I was hesitant. I think we’ll give them a try!Yes, I have for the most part.

It was after a good chameleon vet told me that roaches and silkworms are the most nutritious feeders that I put aside the ickiness and started a colony.Fantastic news. I hadn’t found any good detailed information on how their nutrition compares, so I was hesitant. I think we’ll give them a try!
My daughter has donated her hair too. It’s always a shock when it comes time for her to cut it off. Do you donate it for wigs for cancer people?I’ll restart it.
I’m still Vikki, still in Florida, still a gen Xer and still have more animals than sense. I don’t still have my long hair - cut it off again to donate. Looks stupid short so enjoy a selfie of when it was long.

Love the dog and the baby ducks! Had a wild duck build its nest in my back yard a couple of years ago. The mom didn’t think it through though…no way to walk her babies to water since my yard was fenced…so I left the gate open for her.I’m Gloria! I am an art teacher in southern Missouri.

The first time I donated, my hair still had some color in it and I’ve got a good amount of grey. Most places won’t take either. https://childrenwithhairloss.org/ Will accept it and they sell it to help offset their costs of providing wigs for kids. I figure if I’m going to cut it off, having a purpose stops me from chickening out and it’s always good to help others.My daughter has donated her hair too.
