If you are tired of the crickets, there is a ebay offer for starter colonies of lobster roaches. This is the link i believe - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370552299921#ht_500wt_1156 and there are some offered on craigslist at https://post.craigslist.org/manage/2657812533 I...

The dark black/brown ones are not the usual oriental house cricket that was usually sold in the past but the light brown ones sure look like what we are used to getting . Because they are immature you should have no trouble with either of them. You should consider roaches - I know some dragon...

More than a year ago, I heard about the Cricket virus which has indeed wiped out several Cricket operations here in the States. My son Thomas raised Veiled Chams and it was my gig to raise the feeders. We had learned to raise Crickets in addition to a lot of other bugs. At the time, I was...

You may want to switch to roaches. Dubia's are great but at the last reptile show here in Charleston, SC, there were at least two Bearded Dragon breeders who found that Madagascar hissing Roaches made great feeders for Bearded Dragons. You may want to contact the breeder at...

I try to spray the sides of the bin every day - do this and watch what happens - you will probably see them coming to drink the water droplets . To me this means they need more water. I also spray they egg crates . remember these are tropical roaches from the the Caribbean and South America...

It is a beetle pupa(plural = pupae)- one of the stages through which these animals go on the way to reaching a stage at which sexual reproduction can take place. One of your mealworms has pupated. Most insects(such as beetles hymenoptera, butterflies,etc.) have this stage but many skip this...

what was described is the mites that live in the food and more than likely these mites are not a danger to the roaches. In fact, there is at least species of madagascar hissing roaches (and probably some other species as well) that have symbiotic relationship with a mite species that lives on...

The predatory mites are a real solution / They are available over the webernet the last time I looked. the only problem is that once they are done eating all the mites they die off and have to be replaced if it happens again.

By holistic , I mean organic, all natural, cat food and other natural food which would supply all those trace minerals/nutrients.

There is a virus going around that my be taking them out. It may also be aggravated by certain dietary deficiencies.

You may try feeding the roaches differently(more holistically) and reintroduce them after a while - you lizard may eat them again.

You can get predatory mites .

Lexie, If you use a heat rock under one end of the aquarium they will probably have enough heat to breed. The humidity in the shed is much higher than in the house thats why they survived. If they were molting though they probably would not survive the molt though because they won't be hydrated...

I like Mike and Allison at Premium crickets premiumcrickets.com . the prices are reasonable and so is the shipping.We got our last crickets from them last year but had really cut back on our cricket purchases when our roach colonies got large enough handle almost all our needs. We were feeding...

My son has the lizards and I do the bugs. I raise Dubia's and other roach species. I find that some colonies seem to like one food over others, but nevertheless, any colony will usually come to use/eat whatever is offered. I have found that dry cat food is the best staple - mainly because of...
