I have a dilemma I just wanted to share. I bred for the first time last spring. The eggs that I hatched were 100% hatch rate so I had 34 wonderful hatchlings. These babies were a dream to care for. Easier than my own adults. The problem is I'm from Canada and we are having what I like to call the cricket crisis. Crickets became more and more expensive as the babies grew and now my amazing supplier is suffering the with the densovirus as well.
My dilemma is, I supplied a locale pet store who cares for the babies really well. He was so happy with my little ones he is begging for more. He has had no trouble selling all the babies I supplied him in quick time and informed me everyone loved them and was amazed at how easy they were to handle. So the problem is, I would like to breed again as this owner wants me to be his regular supplier, but what do I do for food. Surely the disease is around my own house as I have received crickets from my supplier who cannot breed crickets any longer. So what do I do for food? Crickets are hard to come by and I'm sure most of you have seen the article about it on the home page. Roaches are out of the question. I can't imagine one getting loose in my house and it's likely to happen accidently as many other escapees have been found around the house and I'm sure your all familiar with this.
I just hate how my hardwork was so appreciated and I want to provide more healthy babies to happy families. I enjoyed breeding so much. What to do?
