Question 1

I have the Dubai colony outside in my closet which it gets 100 to 110 degrees in there will they be able to survive such heat ?

Accepted Answer

They need at least 85 to breed, the ideal temperature for them is 90-95 with a cool side of 85 or 86. If you can put them somewhere that is at least this temperature they'll be fine. The excess temperature will ultimately stress the nymphs, since they can't handle those extremes like the adults, even they get stressed by excessive temperature.

Question 2

Can i leave them with my mealworms and beetles?

Accepted Answer

I do, they seem to get along just fine.

Question 3

Will these hinder my roaches from breeding?

Accepted Answer

Nope ive had mine for a few months and they are nice but the larva and worms get into the egg crates besides that they are fantastic and how far along is ur colony i have like 10000 roaches lol

Question 4

Can I use these in my cricket bin?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. They will eat anything. Beware though, these things breed prolifically. I split my original order of 50 between 2 feeder 30 gallon totes and my Gecko 20 gallon tank and a 75 gallon tank my Beardie hangs out in. I now have so many beetles and their larva that I am thinking about getting rid of them in my roach & cricket totes (or as many as I can get)! They do do wonders, but just make sure to keep population under control! Also, make sure to not throw anything away in the garbage that might have beetles in it, they will get out and into your house! I use zip lock bags to throw anything away!
