how long till i can start feeding off my roaches

[matero3o]

5 males and 10 females i got

i have two bearded dragons and one crested gecko

should the first birth be enough to start feeding? i'll let like 4-5 of them grow and see if they become males or females and use them to breed

every month ill leave 4-5 babies alive to be used as mating roaches after they're born..

how long should this take, i mean since its a small amount i guess i can the first birth


let me know what you think, crickets are getting hard to get.

In good conditions, I've read that the adults can produce about 40 babies per month. I started with a mix bunch with no adults and had a few generations ready to go after about 5 months. You may see quicker results starting with adults, but I'd probably let them be for a while so you have a bunch of different sizes. Then feed off different sizes so you don't wipe out a single generation before they can mature.
