They don't come much easier than these........... feed Bramble, spray a light mist twice a day keep at room temperature. 5 would be fine in a 24" x 12" x 12" tank but if you could offer more height then so much the better. Few inches of eco earth as a substrate to help maintain humidity.
these things breed like mad and can often be bought on ebay as feeder insects.

Even if you start with 5 you will end up with hundreds coz they breed so easy! Used to have them when i was a kid we kept our in the big tall plastic sweetie jars (like in older style places wher you can buy 50p worth and they measure them out for you) Fed them private and snow and summer. We then had some in a terrarium thing for plants but didn't realise that there was big gap around top and my mum was finding them all over the house! We named all ours bob!

also use kitchen roll as a substrate, that way its easily changed, you can get rid of any ova easily so you dont end up with hundreds. they eat privet & ivy & a few other plants too.
