Hi I was currently trying to find out info on providing feeders insects to zoo,rescues,breeders, pet stores and pet owners. For some market research I was wondering how many feeders does a pet store , zoo, breeder/owner consume a week/month? I understand when talking about wholesale where talking about huge numbers but I was looking for an estimate of how huge
-thanks!

As an owner of 1 Beardie I can tell you I go through between 60-100 insects a day. So doing the math that is 420-700 insects a week and 1,800-3,000 a month approximately. A lot of insects lol. I do not have any colonies so it gets very pricey. The market for good, gutloaded, quality insects is high (just think about those with multiple reptiles and breeders). Wishing you the best of luck and great success on your journey.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
