Hello:
I live in Saudi Arabia. My local pet shops don’t sell live cricket (not even dry crickets) or any other kind of insects. My Chameleon is very thin. I hunt flies (not easy to find and catch). The employee from a cafeteria (yes, from a cafeteria) provides me with small roaches, (I think they cannot spray the restaurant to for safety reason, I don’t know, but he find some and pick it for me, still in small quintiles, perhaps 10 per week and are small).
So, since I am determine to keep my chameleon alive, I want to try to farm my own roaches, ( I will do it with crickets, but I do not see where I can find some alive to start), so I can provide my chameleon with the proper nutrition ( gut load the roaches).
Have some of you knowledge about how to start a “roaches farm”. The ones found in the restaurant are very small. (Attach picture of one frozen). I freeze them in order to feed the chameleon in a closed tank, that one die because was over freeze, usually I only sleep them in the freeze to be able to placed them in the tank, otherwise they scape, are super-fast.
Thank you very much.
