Dubias project- waste of time

[mrhoyo]

So after spending a fair bit on a dubia colony and growing them all on it has just come to my attention that only the crested gecko likes them. This would be fine if i could be arsed to sieve out the tiny ones but i cant and therefore have a load of dubias that nobody will eat. None of the skinks like them, neither does the leo and snakes eat their rodents so ive wasted my time on them.
I wish crickets werent noisy and smelly, id breed those otherwise. Locusts would be good for me if they were easier to breed too.
So, any ideas what i can do with a reasonable number of unwanted, primarily adult dubia roaches?

Its shipping the dirty things that worries me. Theyre in a 9l rub and i dont fancy taking them out so how would i post them? Cant imagine postage would be too cheap on that! Then again i havent looked tbh

9L isnt that big is it? couldnt you just put a heat pad on the bottom, wrap in brown paper and post like that? its based on weight usually, aswell.

I suppose i could. They came in a number of cricket tubs wrapped in bubble wrap, no heatpad. Every single one was alive. They were all much smaller then though and there were fewer. Its a shame theyre disgusting creatures, i think its funny watching males chase eachother.
Il look into postage, shouldnt be too much. I dont know how many are in the box btw, im guessing at around 100 or so adults and ive only taken 2 males out to test feed. I saw a few little ones in there too

i am currently lookng to buy some at the moment too, so give me a pm

According to royal mail website the postage itself will be around 6 quid if ive guessed weight correctly. If anyone wants to buy them pm me with an offer, obv highest bidder wins and we can take it from there
