The roaches are a better feeder option than the cricket though right ?The cheapest starter kit I found contains about 25 adult females and 10 adult males. I'm reading that females give birth to 25 to 40 nymphs within 2 months of breeding. The growth rate of those nymphs is about 6 months. Does it sound like a good starter kit to start off with ?I was going to buy crickets to feed in the meantime...I have my T. and my son's bearded dragon to feed, so I decided it's probably cheaper just to raise my own feeders rather than buying them at a time.</blockquote>
