Some questions about dubia roaches

[blightedchemist]

I'm thinking of starting a small colony for my two adult geckos(would it even be a good idea because there are just two?...for now?)
younger smaller roaches would be fed to two of not four small frogs(red eyes and im not sure what my step brother has but they are about the same size)
given that information would it even be a good idea? or would I become over populated?
Also, in comparison, with those reptiles/amphibians in question would rusty reds work?

Go with dubias.
If they over populate you can easily sell 100 for $30 small scale. Geckos love them and they are the most nutitious/easy to breed feeder bug EVER!

Just about all the roaches are great breeders, Dubia take a while to get established, Turks and Lobster breed super fast and are smaller. Lobsters can climb great and Turks cannot. Dubia are large, meaty, dont fly or climb, little or no smell.

Actully from my findings the most Nutricious feeder is the Silkworm.

Alright thanks, I think ill start out with just a few, see if everything I have likes them. Are Dubia nymphs small enough for tree frogs? or im sure at some point they are small enough right?

Babys are eraser sized...small.
Adults are just above an inch.
