i know variety is key.. but what are good feeders? if i must use roaches....any nonflying and nonclimbing(heard some climb glass). any cheap feeders? any good websites?

Like you said, variety is key. Crickets can be gut loaded but still aren't the best feeders in regards to protein ratio (although they are acceptable). Nightcrawlers are high in calcium and are a meatier source of food. Dubia Roaches don't fly or crawl up glass. Keep them the same as crickets but be sure to have higher humidity and a heat source.

Yes, I agree, night-crawlers are a good staple food

how long do they last?

how long do they last?

A while when provided with deep, cool soil and foods, (Like a banana peel when you eat one, just put table scraps that won't poison it or a frog/toad) they just don't breed often, If you feed your animals often or have a large amount of them, (Which I did) they won't last long, because you can't breed them. Like when you go to a store and get meal-worms or wax-worms, it's the same for the night-crawlers
