Live foods in the cold

[AlexFish94]

Hi i own a T (chilli Rose) and a pacman, both obviously needing live foods. I had crickets for them both in my room but some got out and my parents flipped and said they had to be kept in the shed. where they all died as it get really cold in there. So i need a staple food that can stay in my room and not escape or stay in the shed and live while its cold. I have some big earth worms at the moment for the pacman ( i think they are night crawlers/ lob worms) I know there are wax worms but you cant use these as a staple for the pacman as they are too fatty. But good to dust in d3 calcium. My local pet shop said locust as they don't breed if they get out. But they are quite big. I was thinking dubia roaches. Are theses easy to maintain just until spring/summer time when the crickets wont die in the shed

Thanks Alex

Dubia will be the best for you because they reproduce fast and they do not escape easily. Mine only escape because i drop them when i am cleaning there bins but they are so slow i have no problem catching them. They dont stink, they dont climb smooth surfaces, they dont jump or fly even though the males have wings, they dont make noise they are 12 times as nutritional as a cricket. once you go dubia you will never go back to crickets. They may be a little expensive but if you play your cards right you will only have to buy them once. And you will have a never ending supply of food. another good thing about these is everything eats them. frogs, toads, lizards, fish, turtles, tarantula's etc. and dont worry they will not invade you house.
