Message: <blockquote data-quote="syzygy" data-source="post: 78664" data-attributes="member: 4361">I bought some dubias for the first time and they don't really seem to work for me.  I tend to have oversize terrariums and like to add prey items away from the T so that they have to work for it a bit.  Crickets tent to walk or hop around until they draw attention, but the dubias seem to sense the T presence and either immediately dig or they stay motionless.  One of them hasn't moved an inch from where it landed in the habitat 3 days ago.Not that I have a source for them, but are lateralis better?  Crickets stink and the thought of a food source that self replenishes is appealing.</blockquote>
