Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArvadaLanee" data-source="post: 75244" data-attributes="member: 4315">I bought some Dubia Roaches a while back, not realizing I accidentally bought the small ones. I have been trying to raise them until they are big enough to give my rose hair. They seem to be doing alright, and they are growing, but I thought I'd check in here to make sure I'm taking care of them right. I have them in a small critter keeper, bare bottom, with a piece of egg carton. I use a heating lamp on them during the day, to keep them warm. I feed them some wet cat food that I get for my cats that's very high protein. (I don't let it get moldy in there.) I also give them some veggies, like carrot shreds. For water, I have a clump of reptile moss that I wet daily or as needed. Am I missing anything, or is this fine? There are a few that are almost big enough to offer as food now, so I wanted to make sure I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
