I had success in growing my own pinheads must of had 5 thousand at one time. It's not that difficult to do but it dose require heat and moisture to hatch the eggs also you will have to start out with alot of full grown crickets. It will save you money if you can do it because hatchlings can eat especially when you have a big clutch.

I am raising to baby chameleons, got them when they were about 2 months and raised them on fruit flies, just recently sswitched to small crickets. the fruit flies are rather easy to grow yourself. start off with a some fruit flies and then you can make some more by using instant mashed potatoes, red wine vinegar, water and some fruit fresh preservitive. I make the solution with enough vinegar to moisten the potatoes and then use water to make the potatoes soupy. I then sprinkle the fruit fresh on top, just use that as a preservative so the potatoes don't mold. I then take a paper towel square and roll it up and then fold it in half and shove it in the potatoes with most of it coming up the container so the flies have something to crawl onto. With the flies you bought you can put some in the other containers and in a few weeks you will have thousands of fruitflies. hope this helps.
