Idea to adapt a bin for flying roaches.

Here’s a bigger version of a cup feeder, made from a windshield wiper fluid jug. The only real modifications were making a little barrier lip across the bottom of the opening with some of the plastic cut from the window so the crickets don’t crawl out the front, and including a little strip when...

Cup feeder made from a gallon sized jug

I have curly tail lizards in my yard that I feed almost daily, they are very personable tame wild pets. They will come to me and crawl on me looking for a treat. In my walk in cage with my panther, little anoles can get in and out and I am pretty sure they can become a meal, but I will shoo a...

You’re in Florida so if you look really close you may find another one. :p I would bet it didn’t go very far at all. They can almost disappear in a small well planted cage. I had a Jacksons that I thought escaped about once a week just because it was so hard to see right there in front of me. I...

Order from Josh’s Frogs, get small size, I think it’s like 5.99 for 150 or something like that, and about that much again for USPS Priority shipping. They sell them as Phoenix worms. If you keep them cool and feed a few off every day, they can live right in the little cup they are delivered in...

I don’t even know how to link here, but I have a photo album on here that shows my version of the five gallon bucket-type Black Soldier Fly raising and harvesting container. Very similar to the one suzi provided the link above for. I have two of them right inside my walk in cage. I can produce...

The grub stage is the only time the Black Soldier fly eats anything. Unless they are full sized, they will want to keep eating. You can slow that stage down a lot with lower temperatures. Once they get to their largest form as a grub, they do stop eating. Their mouth parts actually fall off and...

Once these grubs get to the last stage before pupating, they stop eating and crawl from the food source. That’s the best way to know they are ready to go dormant. I put five each in these mini deli cups. Add a little bit of Aspen bedding and snap the lid on, eleven days or so later you...
