Dubias, Crickets, and Silkworm colonies.

[mychamtini112012]

So, I was interested in starting my own breeding colony of said insects. But I need to know care, how to store them, temperature, all that good stuff. I don't want a HUGE colony, just a small one so I can feed my little cham.

Does anyone know anything about them.?
Any advice is welcomed right now.

I could use some info too I just used the search engine and found this thread .... Especially, crickets are what I'm most interested in breeding.

I know. But no ones answering. I found a good blog on dubias. But other then that I'm lost....

dubias are easy, and all i have experience with. it's simple and there's plenty of instruction on the internet regarding care/breeding..silkworms are harder to breed, so i don't do that. crickets are smelly, labor-intensive, prone to death, and cheap at the pet store, so I don't breed them either. i use dubias and crickets as a staple, and i buy superworms as a treat by the thousand online (cheap, and lasts a LONG time), and i buy silkies/hornworms as treats every once in a while. this seems to be the easiest system for me.
