question about dubia roaches...

[armando]

Hey everyone x)
I just have a question on dubia roaches...
I bought about 50 to 70 small dubias, 4 months ago...
They have all grown up and they are adults.
The thing is that it seems to be that I have a ratio of 1:1 male to female...
I know I should have a ratio of 1:3 male to female ....
Should I get rid of the extra males right now? Or should I wait even longer, until the colony is full established?

Thanks a lot!!x)

You can start feeding off most of the males. You don't need too many to keep the colony going.

I agree feed them off, if they get too crowded with males it can cause fighting and death between the males, the stress can also cause the females to drop their egg sacks. So definitely feed off the males.
