How many bugs do I need to buy for my pet?  One hundred?  One thousand?  One MILLION?!?!?!  Could you imagine one million roaches showing up on your door step... 

Our growing pets come in a variety of ages, sizes, and species.  Some are exclusively insectivors (leopard geckos), while others are ominvores (bearded dragons).  So it's important to understand how many feeder insects we need to provide for our beautiful pets, to make sure they are properly nourished, and not underfed.

  • I was woundering if you have crickets that are good for human consumption so i can get my own personal farm started so i can save some money. I hear the tropical house cricket is good tasting.
