How 'bout roaches - I keep discoids, they cost a little more to get started w/ but once you have the colony going they are really easy to keep up and more than pay for themselves. Be carefull where you buy them though - see a posting just a little bit down to see what i mean.

roaches can live for several years it depends on the type of roach. Be prepared to buy the roaches and a tub to keep them in. If you dont want to wait a year for babies you need to buy adults. 5 males and 15 females is a good start. Females give live birth to as many as 50 babies at a time. they will be big enough to feed at about 3-4 months. you need to hold some back to increase your colony as well. It really is more of a long term deal if you want to do it economically.
from what I see, you are best off with a rep cal pellet diet. suppliment with greens, dusted with T-rex VGF. If you buy a 5lbs bag and bulk VGF, I'm guessing it will last till new years.
