He's thinking of starting a wood lice colony too. Sounds like a good idea because live food isn't expensive really, but I bet it all adds up in the long run.
Keep us up to speed with how you get on. From what I'm reading, both frogs and leo's like both mealies and beetles.. I think I am more ready to give those a go than crickets or roaches... eeuchh!!
We got mites, millions of them the size of pin heads! and we'll be chucking the lot. You can get them if your culture is too damp - but we got ours from a mite loaded batch from a pet shop which ruined the rest of our culture - Fed the last living beetles to the toads and will be starting again.

My friend took a sample tube full of Bluebottles home from our lab for her Leo. He was leaping around his viv like a loon catching/munching them. Food and a work-out all in one handy tube .
Nastie!
