Best place to get feeder insects?

[KKAY27]

I'm wondering if anyone has order feeder worms online anywhere? I have a lot of crested geckos and Leo's and buying at petsmart is getting expensive! I would like to start a colony of mealworms, dubia roaches, or superworms!! any advice would be appreciated! I really have no idea how to start a colony so I really need some advice!! Lol

We've ordered earthworms and meal worms online several times with great results. THe wife finally started an earthworm farm in the corner of the basement, so we have an endless supply. Most get transferred to various gardens, but we feed some to our turtles and fish. We've ordered crickets online twice for our water dragons (which we've since re-homed), and both times turned out badly. Once, they froze during shipping, and another time they arrived (during decent spring weather) nearly all dead.

Ouch!

Do vibrating feed trays work to simulate live insects (I assume)? I saw these recently (with remote!) and wondered if they were any good.

I haven't had any luck yet! I'm looking on ebay right now the prices are a little lower and free shipping!!

Dads are like that, so are moms! lol. I also have mealworm and superworm beetles where you can raise your own, not hard as anyone will tell you.

Could you explain your process because I have read so many different things! I still would like to raise either meal or superworms.
