    Some species produce egg cases and breed better with substrate.

    I would recommend dubias. They're a very hassle free species.

    Thanks for the information guys. I'll definitely go with the Dubias. Any suppliers you'd recommend?

    I've had good luck with Aaron Pauling (Aaron Pauling.com) for roaches...

    One more thing in favor of roaches - they really don't die on you - much tougher than crickets. The only downside I've noticed is that they are not really active (they freeze when alarmed) and don't stimulate feeding responses in some frogs/toads as effectively as crickets...

    I'd like to second Aaron Pauling. Very good customer service and is willing to work with you.

    My friend just gave me some roaches (i cant think of what type they are) to breed and all i am doing is throwing in a slice of cucumber for water and i threw down some guinea pig food for them to eat. That is all i did. Pretty simple and far less annoying then crickets.

    I've been considering breeding some dubias because i have heard nothing good about them. My only issue is I have a huge phobia of cockroaches, but I've been trying to work on it for the last few years. I think I've gotten myself to a point where I can handle them being in a bin, but the idea of them getting out really freaks me out.

    I know it's all mental and I just need to remind myself they are no different then any other living creature and they too are beautiful. There is just something about them that causes an immediate anxiety attack.

    Has anyone had any problems with them getting out and causing like an infestation or anything? I think if I get some I'll be putting them in a large glass aquarium and I don't think they can walk up glass?
