    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So many people here are breeders whether backyard breeders, hobbyists, or professional and we know that feeding can be killer on the wallet so I just wanted to poll where everyone gets their crickets and other various insects from.

  • Buy from a local pet store
  • Order online
  • Breed your own
 
I usually by at the bait store or pet store. But if I can get them at the shows, I usually do that and keep them alive so it doesnt cost so much :)
 
I bought my crickets from a vendor at a reptile show, my mealworms from a vendor and a pet store, and my dubias from online and local friends.. now I breed all three insects and mix my own insect chows. I've probably saved $300 in feeders and bug food in a year and a half, and have sold enough to pay for all colonies twice over. Woohoo! :)
