Best Cleaning Crew for a Dubia colony?

[ivan_937]

I started up a Dubia colony. What is the best Cleaning Crew I can add?

I’ve heard of many different approaches, I think success would probably depend on how you keep your dubia. I kept a few buffalo beetles (think I got the species right) in my dubia colony. Ultimately I don’t know if they were much of a help, my dubia colony seemed to do just find with or without the beetles.

Exact same over here. I bought some a while ago, and the colony was clean, but I don’t know if that was due to the beetles or not. I moved my colony into a different tub without substrate, so I don’t have beetles anymore, and I have noticed more dead roaches than before, whether that has anything to do with the beetles, I don’t know.
