[QUOTE="Adraps11, post: 59606, member: 4220"] Currently my tarantula is in premolt, and I have a couple of uneaten dubia roaches, that I've named Casey and George. They both seem happy in a small tupperware container with cheerios to eat and cardboard to hide under. Less than a mile from my house there's a guy who sells feeder insects, I'm thinking of buying in bulk from him and starting my own collection. It's just a thought. I could easily just continue buying from him, but this method would save money in the long run. I think he also has hissers. I HATE, HATE large crickets, I had a terrible accident earlier this year where I left the bag slightly unsecured after I put it in my top dresser drawer. Twenty of the big bastards got loose in my room, I unfortunately only found out, after I turned the lights out and went to bed. lmao. It's funny now, but at that moment I was cursing up a storm and stomping. We had crickets in the house for weeks. The Cat loved them! With the roaches it's simple, they're wingless and easy to get a hold of, No Flying, or hopping all over the place! I'd feel perfectly fine having a secured storage container of them in my room. Crickets just stink up the place when they quickly die, and if you have a burrowing species of T like I do, who isn't hungry, they go straight for the burrow and just stress out the spider. I'm also considering getting a young G. Pulchripes soon. I've had my single A. Hentzi for over a year now, and with a local guy selling feeders just down the street, the urge to have more Ts seems perfectly sensible! [/QUOTE]
