    Hatchlings - how do you keep them?

    Ive kept them in critter keepers for a number of years. I start them out on paper towels and a small piece of cork and a vine. Super simple setup but it allows you to see the signs of them eating. Once they're started well, i move them to coco fiber and soil until they move up to a bigger enclosure.

    Feeding response with roaches?

    My experience with roaches as had mixed results. I can tong feed babies and young juvies. I could probably do that with adults also but I get a little lazy to keep them trained (sounds weird, but I think it's possible). The issue I notice is adults like to hunt or respond to movement. Dubia can...
