Well, I first started with a starter kit I purchased from one of the folks on here in the for sale section, it was great, but scooter was eating so many of the small nymphs it quickly became evident I needed a lot more breeders. I found a place where I could purchase females 100 at a time and I currently have almost 400 breeding females and about 150 males. All the nymphs I have that make it to adulthood go into the breeder bin to replace die offs. I started building up my colony around October. Some of the larger nymphs that make it to adulthood are because scooter needed some larger feeders, so I bought about 400 of thoseas welll.
