    Nope. Not really. Nothing is easier than roaches.

    Sow bugs are an excellent additional feeder for smaller amphibians and lizards, and very easy to culture as well.

    Crickets don't have to smell! When you keep them, the container must be well-ventilated and cleaned on a regular basis. If your crickets were stinking, you probably had poop, rotting food, spilled water, left-over dead crickets, or an enclosure with not enough airflow, or all the above. If you used substrate, this could also have something to do with it. Whether crickets smell or not depends entirely on your method of raising and breeding. In their natural environment, crickets never stink. They won't stink in a cage either if you make an effort to keep the enclosure clean and dry. Just 5 minutes of spot cleaning a day can make a big difference.
