Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr. P" data-source="post: 132822" data-attributes="member: 27641">I currently have dubias, crickets and red runners and here is what I have concluded.The dubias are great for my bigger girls who will tong feed. I can feed them two large dubias a week compared to 10-12 crickets. The problem with dubias is if they are dropped in and not taken immediately they lay still and the T loses interest. Crickets and red runners move around but are not very big so you have to feed more.I use crickets and red runners for my juvies as they will run around and my juvies will literally chase them. I tong feed the largeer dubias to my bigger girls as they act like statues and pretty much wait for everything to come to them.</blockquote>
