look it up on google, they are supposed to be hard to breed, you need sterilised damp sand for them to lay the eggs in and it needs to be warm.....crickets are much easier, i just have a 1000 in ther tub and they breed like theres no tomorrow.

they smell a bit tho, so i clean them out every two weeks or summat

Roaches are much easier to keep and breed than locusts....

As above Breed or buy Roaches or Crix, way cheaper.

Or just put up with the costs of superior foods
