I'm faced with the same problem of having crickets unplentiful in the winter months. Suppliers don't even want to ship them. Crickets can get some nasty smells going, that's probably the main reason why I don't try raising them. If you get a couple dead ones in the enclosure, then compound their waste smells...well...eeeww.



Redworms are a cinch to raise, although some herps appear not to like the taste of them. I've heard that earthworms are a little more difficult to raise, but I'm not sure where the difficulty part comes in. Maybe someone else can help with that thought. Just a small suggestion on the whole variety thing. You might try raising up some mealworms. Very easy to do. Actually, pillbugs aren't that hard either.
