Best (& Easiest) Feeder to Breed?

Status
Not open for further replies.
So my brother and I are thinking of breeding our own feeders. He has a chameleon and I have a beardie ofc and so we're thinking it'll be easier and cheaper for us to just breed our own insects. We both absolutely despise crickets even though they seem pretty easy to breed, despite the smell and chirping. Besides that we've been thinking of breeding dubia roaches, silkworms, or hornworms.
I haven't done all my research yet into upkeeping those yet. I was hoping to get some insight on what it takes to keep those around.
Also looking for any other suggestions for feeders that may be a better option for us.

The silkworms are tougher. I haven't tried breeding them myself but some on here have. It helps to have access to mulberry leaves if you do that. I like to have a roach colony and then I order silk worms when they are available and offer them as a secondary feeder to add variety to the diet.
 
Dubias all the way homie.
A bin, egg crates, food, water and depending on your situation, a heat mat and/or a ceramic heat emitter.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
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
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
