General Small Feeders

Crickets. Mealworms and Locusts all range in size with their life-cycle stage's so they are good for all sized frogs. Ive never dealt with roaches so cant help you there sorry.

I want insects that are rather easy to breed. I find breeding crickets hard and sorta chore and a waste of time.

I rather would wanna breed something that is so easy all you have to do is set up a tank and change food daily.

Course if I still need some insects I will bu y them but yeah. I wondered if buying insects online is pointless. Because people get em at the store. But at the same time I wanted good quality feeders that last a long time.

I wanna get a ton of locusts for my turtle. :] She loves to bite on things that will give her a run for her meal. xD

Locust are not available in the US. Roaches breed easily.

The small mealworms (not superworms) are the easiest to do. You can make a medium by pulverizing wheat bran cereal fine enough so you can drag a sieve through it and pick up the worms. Or use fingers or tweezers. Some people use chicken mash if you can get it. I'm still trying to raise pinheads with determination and hope. I had 3 cups of wingless fruit flies going until I forgot about them but will be ordering another kit from Josh's Frogs soon and will try to get a consistent breeding project started again. My local reptile store keeps a record of crickets purchased so I can pay $27 at the first of the month and pick up at intervals when I need them. Don't start culturing anything that flies around the house or your parents will squash your attempts at raising food.

Roaches are EXTREMELY easy, no smell, no noise. And from what I've read, you won't be able to breed butterworms because they are sterilized before they leave the country....
