Red runners as a sub for crix

[Zero138]

So my 2 dragons are about 4 months old and 10.5 inches nose to tail. I'm spending to much on crix going through 500 a week. So my question is if I start a red runner colony is this a suitable substitute for crix? They smell less and my dragons seem to like them plus they are cheaper than dub roaches. I'm getting an adult colony of 200 from the breeder for $10. So I'm wondering is this good for my dragons?

Should be fine. And they breed very quick!

What's the ratio 1 RR = ? crickets
Also do they smell better, or worse? Are they easier than crix other than size and breeding abilities what's the advantages? I'm doing it cause I'm getting 200 adults for 10 bucks but are they better or worse than crickets?
