    Roaches are much better then crickets as a staple for pacmans. I feed all my frogs dubia from my own colony. They are super easy to breed. If you set them up they'll breed prolifically. My colony sure has and I started off with 150 nymphs and maybe a pair or two of adults. If you're interested...I can hook you up on some to get you started for a fair price. I'll be mailing some off to NatureLady on here.

    Depends on what size and how much you want. I have every size you could want. I'm on the East coast, but shipping still isn't a problem unless you'd rather get some from a closer source, then that's understandable. I wouldn't use an aquarium. I would go with just a plastic storage tote of some sort. I use one. The lid has the top cut out and window mesh hot glued on top for ventilation with cardboard eggcrate in it for the roaches to climb/hide on then two bowls one for water crystals and one for whatever food item(s) I feed them. You don't have to separate the adults from the babies, but you can to make it easier if you want to choose easily for a certain size.

    Hardest part is not feeding heavily before the colony is established. My one frog can eat one large nymph every night nearing maturity. That's roughly 30 feeders which each would take a few months to get to that size. I also feed a tarrantula. I'm still in the process of getting my colony going good but I estimate I want 20 or so adult females and a handful of males to keep the colony strong. I just ordered 100 medium and 50 large cause the last 100 medium I got just doesn't seem like it will hold out till more of the tiny nymphs grow. They really take months to grow to adults. High temps in the 90s will make them grow and breed faster. Also high humidity. 60 percent and up should work. Not too much humidity as would cause mold which can kill a colony. Feed em, water em with water crystals or fresh oranges and leave em in the dark. They will breed. Its what they do. Eat, poop, grow, breed, then die. Boys die sooner than girls which can live for a couple years I think.
