Vacation Feeding

I agree with elly. If you're looking to breed your own feeders it seems like dubia roaches are the way to go. I don't have personal experience with it since I couldn't quite get over the squick factor of having adult roaches in the house *shudder* but I've done a bit of research that shows they're easy breeders if kept at warm temps.

Depending on what kind of frog you decide to get, you can get nightcrawlers at walmart if you want to avoid Petco.

If you want to get crickets shipped in you can try Armstrong's. They've been breeding crickets since the 1940's and raise the original (non-hybridized) browns, which are known to be non-biters. It's not cheap though, so I'd get some smalls/mediums and set them up in some good housing to grow out while you feed them off. Buying full grown adult crickets is a waste of time and money for me because once they are of breeding age they start to drop dead. Bleh. We purchased from Armstrong's years ago when we had FBTs, and they were a pretty good company. Buy Crickets Online | Armstrong Crickets

I looked into Dubia Roaches and it makes me shutter i dont think i can keep them. However, the only reason I cannot keep crickets is because i do not want to go to the store every month. Do all frogs need to eat crickets and roaches?
