@Sean ahha and u said I was the bug person.... you have the scary ones =p Woodlice??? wtf.. XD Serioiusly freaky.

Ants need a queen to reproduce. I think ants would be an extremely poor choice as a feeder.

 

[Leroux2008]

o thats rollie pollies im dumb XD just sounded freaky

err fml lmfao

this is irritating me. i dont have a sep container for crickets, just few small ones but i have too many lol

 

[Leroux2008]

I dont keep many crickets at once only about 75 or 100 max... I keep them in what you would call a shoebox container... its 16Quarts or 15Liters.... I have soil and lots of toilet paper rolls and a paper towl I keep wet and change out I mean u dont need the biggest set up but the more u have it is better fora bigger container

 

[Leroux2008]

U can get like a 50 gallon tub from like dollar general for 8 bux max I guess ud say its 50gallon its the huge ones all I know

Mantids would be very expensive to grow as a feeder. They also take a long time to grow. And lastly, they are too cool to use as a feeder.

Check out mantidforum.net for more info on them.

100 percent nail on the head!!!! haha way too cool to use as a feeder

(i am biased tho, i used to breed them like i do chams now)

i have a huge aquatic container it's easily housing what was said to be 500, looks like less. several cardboard cut outs theres tons of room
i can house like 1000. no doubt. but i just hate them lol

Im prolly not gonna wanna feed them once they get here XD I have a hornworm thats almost bigger than 4inch and I already dont wont to feed him =[[ Which I dont think I will.. Ima wait til he pupates then stick him in some soil and have a moth =DD

 

[Leroux2008]

O I see what your saying you said you didnt have a Seperate container XD Not big container..... Well really the only sugggestion I can say is just keep taking out any dead ones because they are the cause of your stink

 

[wontbme]

what about locusts?

nvm they are illegal in the u.s.
fml

Walking Sticks!! if you can find them lol darn laws

silks are a good regular feeder aren't they? not as much fat as other worms.

 

[Leroux2008]

ya silks are alot better but I wouldnt use as main diet. whats walking sticks?

 

[Drew V]

stick insects (phasmids) i have wanted to try them for a while but they illegal to cause they just like poop out eggs once they mature. Dont need to breed ... i have read that they are very well liked.

 

[Leroux2008]

wow lol.... if their illegal how in the world am i going to find them XD

 

[Leroux2008]

O nevermind thats a scary bug XD I mean the green ones kinda look like praying mantis but still a little freakier
