You might try discoids, They're faster than dubias, and if a few of them hide they're less of a nibbling danger than my orange-heads. Really, it sounds like we both picked the wrong roach species. I'll switch over eventually, but that raises the question of what to do with all these orange-heads! I figure eventually, despite this year having a low hatch rate, the lizard puppies will pile up enough that I have to rent an expo table anyway (I had a bad enough experience with the parents' delivery that I'm still squeamish about shipping,) and while I'm at it I can sell off the OHRs and switch over to discoids. Discoids have softer, less scratchy legs, too, which my skink will no doubt consider a plus. For now, though, these things do the job. I was experimenting with different types and these just happened to be the ones that I had when I finally figured out how to keep them productive. (Well, OK, I did OK with craniifers and fuscas, too, but the toad was getting way too fat!)
