I haven't used those but have got the dubia roaches, they are best kept warm, i have a heat mat under the kricket keeper, i also put paper round the outside as i was told they prefer to be in the dark. They eat veg peelings, tropical fish flakes & need to have water crystals to drink. I didn't buy a colony of breeding roaches but mine are breeding, i have found several very tiny 1's, they are very easy to keep & my rankins love them, roaches are a very good for the b/d's to.
Hope this helps.

you not checked your local rep shops? alot of places usually have them just recently.

Our only local pet stores are pets at home, and a little one in our town center. Pets at home... well yeah. I asked at our local one, they do a small amount of rep stuff, got a rather rude no we do not before I even finished the sentance -_-
