i really would like to start a roach colony... I know it would save me a lot of money. The problem is that my hubby is "creeped out" by the idea of having roaches in the house... Are there any other feeders that i can raise that are somewhat easy to keep alive. I'm spending a fortune on crickets at the pet store ($.10 a piece) Or anyone have any ideas on how to convince my hubby to let me get the roaches?

there are some roaches that dont look as "roachy" as others...so you can order just a couple roaches to show your husband and let him see that they arent that bad and reassure him that they cannot infest your home and also show him in numbers how much money you will save if you had your own colony...i prefer the turkestan roaches but many others like the dubia

Really? I was ok with them because they were thin and flat...they reminded me of those bugs..I call armadillo bugs. The ones that if you touch them the roll up into a ball. It may have been my mind playing tricks on me so that I would be more accepting and do the right thing for my new baby. LOL!!

if you are going with dubias i suggest blaberus.com or theroachguy.com or thefeederstore.com
if you are looking for turks you can find awesome deals on them on kingsnake.com
and nymphs would be the perfect size for yoyo
so if you want to breed your own i would suggest purchasing
500 nymphs and then 500 mixed (the mixed will have some that are already at or almost at adulthood.)

now its not cheap to start up but with those numbers it will be self sustaining
good thing with the roach guys kits is they come with adults
its 85 bux for the 500 mixed but comes with 10+ adults
and then like 40 for the 500 nymphs
(thats a lot cheaper than it cost me to setup my colony few years ago lol)
