Dubia Question...How long till babies?

[RoninSTi]

About hwo long after you have adult dubia will you see babies?

I bought 1000 nymphs and mostly all of them are adults. Does anyone know how long after you have adults that babies will appear? I was expecting them by now. I've had adults just over 2 months or so.

I keep their temps up and feed them oranges because I hear that encourages breeding.

Any input would be great.

It will take abut two months from the time a nymph molts into an adult, to the time it has babies.

Ive had it some start in about a month, never keep that much track of it, but I will say if temps are up and food is good then they should be coming any day now.
I wouldnt worry about anything, as long as none are dying, or very few.

Yup none are dieing, just patiently waiting for little babies. My herps love the roaches and I'm anxious to start feeding them off, but I want to make sure the colony survives.

Thanks for the replies.

I got babies this weekend!! So excited.

Am I weird or does anyone else think that the baby roaches are cute?

Haha I don't think they are cute....but i do enjoy watching them go about their daily routines.
