Description:To some people, nothing sounds less pleasant than having a colony of cockroaches scurrying about their house, even in an enclosed container. Yet these insects, notes author Casey Watkins, are an excellent source of nutrition for several different types of pets, reptiles, and fish. The eBook "Dubia Roaches: Starting a Feeder Colony" contains comprehensive information on growing your own pet food rather than having to drive to a pet store every few weeks. The text lists several advantages of these insects, including a good source of nutrition and an easy breeding schedule, that make them great to farm for your pet. For those who can overcome any cases of willies, they can find all the information they require on these insect feeders.Since you want your pets to have good nutrition, you will need to feed the insects they consume for lunch and dinner with good nutrition as well. The author lays out different foods that can be fed to Dubia roaches in order for them to grow strong and tasty (for reptiles, that is). Since these bugs roam the floors of tropical jungles, they like fruit that has fallen from the canopy and will relish any sweet fruits that they come across. Supplement their diet with a protein source so that the protein can be passed on to your pet reptile. Remember that the more different types of nutrients and minerals that they eat, the more your pet's health improves.Keeping roaches within an enclosure is crucial since nobody wants them to escape and run free through your house. Luckily, the author notes, these insects cannot climb up a smooth surface. A simple plastic tub with steep sides will suffice for their care. Their housing can be quite minimal, notes the text, on account of the fact that they prefer the dark and the only decor that will improve their health and breeding is a place to hide. Insects are no different than any other animal and do need air, so ensure that they have an air source. Since these are tropical bugs, a heat source is optimal. Keeping them close to a reptile's heat source is an easy way to keep both pet and pet food at the same toasty temperature.One of the best things about starting up a Dubia roach colony, notes the author, is that they will quickly start to breed and create their own new generations of bugs. No need to drive to the store to get more if you create your own colony, and no need to supervise the reproduction. The roaches do all the work and the young thrive in the exact same situations as their parents. You can get good statistics on the reproduction rate of these roaches from the author, including expected quantities of eggs and the average gestation period. Since these insects grow to full size and start reproducing is as little as one hundred days, in no time you can have a thriving colony for your beloved pet to chow down on.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
