No thank you. I actually quite keeping insectivores because of my disdain for crickets. I discovered dubia and other roach species about 10 years ago, and I've been in love with them ever since. They are so easy to keep and breed, and so much better than crickets for all the reason already listed in this 5 and a half year old thread. I did a thread on starting a colony: <a href="https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/how-to-start-a-roach-colony.22389/#post-134274" target="_blank">https://tarantulaforum.com/threads/how-to-start-a-roach-colony.22389/#post-134274</a></p></blockquote><p></p>
