[QUOTE="Colorado Ts, post: 164489, member: 30045"] Update: I've completely switched from crickets to raising B. lateralis roaches & B. dubia roaches. My collection of tarantulas has grown appreciably, and...let's face it...crickets do have an odor, a very noticeable ODOR. I've found that roaches: Are very easy to raise in colonies Once the colony is established, they are very productive Compared to breeding/keeping crickets, roaches are so simple and easy There is a nice market for the excess roach production The odor of roaches is much lower than the odor of crickets. B. lateralis roaches have a larger range of sizes, from teeny tiny to adult, making them wonderful for tiny slings. Sorting roaches by size is uber easy once you get a sieve system in place. Bye, bye, crickets...hello roaches. [/QUOTE]
