Some livefood breeding questions.

[Rum_Kitty]

I only have 2 lizards, a beardie and a gecko. I find getting livefood a pain in the bum, my local shops never have what I need when I need it, I havent been able to buy morios for ages for some reason. But is it worth it to culture livefood for only 2 lizards, I have images of being overrun with meal beetles and moths lol? And whats the easiest healthy food to culture? Nonwithstanding crickets I cant stand those things .

have u through about roaches?

also if you become "over run" sell some live food on here, am sure some ppl wouldnt mind buying some if close by, or ur willing to post

Roaches are the main consideration at the mo, along with silkworms, although I have heard they are difficult to raise. I think I am too paranoid to use any sort of roach other than Dubia though!

i was going to sugest turkistan roaches, if you keep them in the rite "house" there shouldnt be any escape's

what are your reasons to wanting to breed dubia's?

[Rum_Kitty]

Primarily because I have read they cannot climb like the other species.

i think they can, but not 110% sure, things its mainly the young u have to be wary about

Dubia roaches can't climb smooth surfaces!!
