These Dubias are full of energy which is terrific! The only difficulty I had was getting them out of the netted bag in which they arrived. Some of them stubbornly clung to the netting and didn't want to enter their "condo" which was waiting with fresh veggies, water, and new egg crates. Some dropped from the netting and ran around the table, but I got them all. Today I checked them, and they have settled in. Some were eating carrots, while others were on the water pillows. Many were napping in their egg crates. So now I am aware of the bag in which they travel and will possibly handle our next shipment better. I think they must breathe better in the bag.
