    I wasn't planning on using any of the wild species near me, only feeders I order online or at a local pet shop (not a chain store). I am doing lots of research to make sure it's something that can't get into by raccoons or other bugs. I should mention I am in a city so no garage or shed and the raccoons are more interested in people's trash. I have crickets that are quite loud all very close to my deck and I've never seen them hunt any, only once they grabbed a moth that was attracted to the light. If it really doesn't work I do have an attic but it's a bigger pain to get to. I plan to get these possible issues resolved before even getting any toads.

    After doing more research on each individual feeder I am abandoning this idea of a multi species outdoor bin. I wasn't worried about raccoons but had no idea ants go after crickets plus I don't want my pet getting parasites. It'll be a PITA but I think the warmth of the attic will be a good alternative when temps are right. In the winter I could still do worms and isopods indoors. I have a good source for crickets that I could walk to and get as needed in the winter and just keep them for a day or two to gutload. I also plan on ordering other species such as silkworms here and there to keep a varied diet. Thank you again to everyone for the advice and input.
