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.
