how many have u got?

 

[pythoness]

give them grains, cereal, vege matter and a warm dark place, then forget all about them for a few weeks with the exception of adding kitchen scraps. they thrive on neglect and in a few months you will have more than you can poke a stick at

[zan777]

[m_beardie]

should i get another tub??

 

[Dave]

should i get another tub??

you'd want to have atleast 100-200+ woodies.. petstore ones don't give many if I'm thinking right about the brand you bought you would need like 5-7+ tubs lol

 

[m_beardie]

you will find bulk lots for sale on aps and petlink i started my colony with about 1500 roaches from babies to adults i paid about $70 from someone on petlink they were dropped at my door. i can pm you their details if you like but are they just for the one beardie if so i guess you wouldn't need anywhere near that many

I bought a 35 litre clear tub from bunnings for $9. i drilled holes in the top for ventilation. I keep it in the laundery where its dark and warm. I have had it there for only 4 days and there is a heap of eggs already

hi give it time bout 1 month or 2. I started breeding a couple of months ago. Just keep the food up and the heat and they will thrive mine in the last week has had about 300 babies. i feed my hole colony on carrot and rabbit pellets. make sure you start of with all different ages .

wow repetitiveness, you can buy 1500 medium woodies through piscies for around $70 bucks within a month you should notice smaller ones apearing

Watch with the holes drilled in the top, the babies start out pretty small.
