 Do not panick,do not panick!

Today I learned that my local reptile store is closing! Usually i spend $20/1000 anysize crickets.Looked online and crickets are not cheap(Canada) and it’s giong to be winter soon, I refuse to go to petsmart at .12 each for small ones. I am hoping to get some roaches to breed though they would take a few months. Would a diet of pinkies,earthworms,superworms work for a little while?I was thinking of getting a order of silk worms too.

It shouldnt really be a problem. With that many mouths if your goign to feed roaches get a big order. Roaches are so cheap now you can basically just buy to feed off like crickets. I know Lateralis and lobsters are cheap as dirt here in the states. So are dubias.
