I couldnt be more happy than when I am out collecting animals ...cant wait to get out of town so we can have some land, which in turn I will fill up with more animals.![]()
Do you breed your own feeders? If not, you should ("it's cheaper" is a good excuse to give your husband to start breeding crickets). Producing more than one gray can eat should be no problem. You then need fire bellied toads to eat the surplus.
This is my approach, I have a cricket surplus, I just need to get a tank ready for fire bellies. Though my girlfriend is ok with it as long as she doesn't have to do any of the handling of the feeder bugs, having a good excuse doesn't hurt.![]()
No,I dont breed feeders. Thanks for the suggestion, but I dont know that would work...You see, I have only a small tolerance of crickets for the frogs sake of course. I prefer to only have a couple dozen on hand at a time, more costly yes, but errr, I dont like em! I would be willing to culture another type of feeder though...and of course this in turn would probably upset my other half more. If it isnt a cat or dog, he wants very little to do with it. So small minded!
I don't really like crickets either, that's why I'm ok condemning them to death-by-frog. I could never keep an animal that needed to eat mice...
Mealworms are pretty easy to breed, and I hear some types of roaches are as well. Having lived in an apartment building with a roach infestation, I'm not allowed to try to breed any kind of roach (I think it's actually illegal here anyways). My girlfriend is pretty tolerant, but not that tolerant.
Funny, death by frog...Roaches did come to mind but then again they are ROACHES so they went out of mind just as quick.
The news of my Hissers having bred again was not met with enthusiasm, let me tell you. None have escaped, but I guess the fear is always there. At least they are quiet-crickets chirping drives me nuts!

to me, crickets are just an annoying crossbreed of roaches and grasshoppers...they eat EVERYTHING, smell and to top it off they can jump to get away. and dont forget the chirping.
that being said, super froggy food hahai should learn how to raise them sometime so i dont have to keep buying them
