Cleaners

[IamKrush]

has anyone used buffao (cleaner) beetles in the dubia colonies? Im curious of how well they work and do they cause a problem with the dubias or escsping.

yep, i always seem to get a few when i purchase dubias. I've never had them escape. they don't live very long, couple 4 -5 months maybe.

Where do you get your dubia from?

Mostly dubiadeli.com but lately i've been ordering from rainbowmealworms.com for the baby leopard gecko sampler. They're a bit more expensive than dubiadeli but it balances out so i don't have to pay 2 shipping fees.

I got cleaners when I ordered my discoids. So far I like them. Even when they turn to beetles, they remain small and continue to clean. I ordered from Ready Reptile Feeders. Good experience.
