Feeder breeding

[tryme]

What insects do you guys breed and recomend
I breed my own mealworms for my leo's and my cham but i'm looking to breed others. Bare in mind I can't seem to get hold of roaches or flies and I heard that locusts are hard to breed although I can get hold of them. I'm interested in breeding waxworms although they are as a snack but would still come in handy for me.

Silkworms are great insect to breed. They are very easy to breed as well. Here is a great website to learn about them :http://www.chameleonnews.com/?page=article&id=56

Different species of crickets and flies during the winter and grasshoppers, butterflies etc.-just any I can found on the meadow during the summer.

i dont think im up for the silkworms alot of effort with the old tree and that. I might just keep doing my mealies, do waxies and maybe locusts. Crickets are a bit to noisy for me.

 

[Vibrant Chameleons]

Blaptica Dubia (non climbing and non flying roach). These breed with little to no work. Just keep them warm, fed and hydrated and the colony will grow on its own. Plus, their lifespan can reach up and beyond 18 months once they reach adult stage.
On average, an adult female will give birth to 20 babies every 2 months. That's 180+ babies for her lifespan. That with just 1 single adult female
