It's very easy to care for them, but takes time for them to breed, especially if you start off with a small colony. I started with 500 and they were pretty well established by about 6 months. I have a 20g tank with a screen lid and a heating pad under one side. It sits on a baker's rack to allow ventilation. They live in cardboard tubes and I feed them scrap veges. They seem to love squash and green beans. They also dig right into orange slices. They'll eat greens too but not as enthusiastically. Other than making sure they have fresh food and removing any leftovers before they mold, there isn't much else to it. They just kind of do their thing. I haven't sold off any but I did bring a case of adults to my vet to help replenish her colony.
