insect breeding

[crayfishguy]

i was wondering what other kinds of feeder insects breed easily(besides crickets)and are suitable for a whites treefrog to eat

 

[Gene0514]

Roaches such as Dubias
They are apparently very easy to keep and breed, and are very nutritious

 

[Vicious_Fish]

^ Yep. There really isn't a species out there easier to breed than Dubia Roaches.

Good luck!!

Check your LFS, most LFS in my area have tons of roaches they would be willing to let you take!

thats the problem I had.
Wife was ok with
1800g of fish
bearded dragon
3 different worm colonies in the basement

But when I brought up breeding roaches she flipped out!

pointing out that dubia roaches don't stink nearly as bad as crickets might help...
