[QUOTE="soundspawn, post: 274900, member: 7962"] Absolutely. Not only do I agree with all of that, but breeding your own crickets helps you control what goes in to your mantids nutritionally. Store bought crickets often can hardly be considered "food" suitable for anything... so you already almost have to keep them for a week to get them properly gut loaded... you're nine tenths of the way to breeding at that point! I imagine the volume of pinheads would be an issue though without a proper outlet for them, how did you deal with that? with probably 500 mantids on average we have no trouble making them go away but as you said a person with only a few or a dozen... when you get 1,000 pinheads overnight how do you make that work?
