[QUOTE="kormath, post: 89896, member: 4199"] agreed. The lifespan of the typical pet store cricket, if it's a pinhead is 6-8 weeks. If you're buying medium or large you're looking at a few weeks till they die. If you only can do crickets, i'd do like [USER=6392]@Memo537[/USER] said and buy a dozen or so at a time. If you can order roaches where you're at Dubia or Lateralis is your best bet. You can't kill a roach even when you try ;) both of those species live for about 18-24 months. I wouldn't start a colony with just one T, unless you want to raise roaches also as a pet and feeder. [/QUOTE]
