[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 54943, member: 4086"] Maybe try catching some wild roaches and breeding them? I'm not sure what your native roaches are, but you can order certain species online..well, here you can. But anyway, male roaches will have larger wings in most cases. get a few females and a male and you can breed a colony rather fast . There's a bunch of info online about roach colonies. Also, crickets and grasshoppers can be caught easily at night near streetlights. The problem with feeding wild caught prey is that you don't know where they've been, pesticides, etc..any pinkie mice or small mice available? Moths I can't comment on, I've never fed them to spiders, except a jumping spider that lived in the corner of my kitchen..there should definitely be a solution to the prey problem somewhere around there, anyway :) [/QUOTE]
