Feeder costs

[ajq1540]

I spend about 10$ because we breed mealies and buy wax worms and crickets once a month.

 

[got spots?]

Wow, guess since I'm not a breeder...yet... I don't have that food bill =O

 

[VitalTears]

$50 to $60 a month

remember back in march? i said?​

for leo i used to pay around $40 every 2 weeks, for mealworms/wax worms. but now since i breed mealworms,wax worms, silkworms. its basically just buying some low costing food for them to eat (< for the bugs) for my other animals though each month i spend atlest $50 for greens/veggies (but that price is going down, yay) and every 7 months i buy in bulk of around 400 mice for $130

well now i have Lots more snakes,leopard geckos and crested geckos..even though i breed mealworms,supers and wax worms now to i end up spending at lest $60 a month on crickets for the crested geckos. and if i have to order Crested gecko diet its around $20. i try and order every other month $50 worth of phoenix worms And now my feed bill for mice? $300 bucks for over 600 mice. add another 20 for food for feeders i can keep going on and on.....Point is its lots of mouths to feed! with 14 leopard geckos, 8 crested geckos, 10 corn snakes and one ball python and more to come! Breeding season i will have LOTS more mouths to feed *100's of baby corn snakes..*​

I have one more exception I have to pay about 10-30 dollars when I want to add a feeder to my list but i usually well start breeding them when i do




Thank god my mellies alone can sustain my collection, Jake

I chose 25-50$ because I spend 8$ on Super Worms once a week. But I am going to be starting a Dubia colony soon.

How many geckos do you have? Also where do you get your worms from?

 

[roachesrus]

I really dont spend anything, since I breed and sell dubia roaches

 

[roachesrus]

I don't really have a monthly or weekly cost due to the fact I breed dubia roaches on a large scale. I have plenty offer if anyone is interested !

 

[ak18402]

how much would it cost me to feed a crested gecko, per month. im 16 and don't start working til march, so the 90$ monthly on my beardie hits pretty hard

 

[roachesrus]

I really dont spend much since I breed and sell my own roaches, anyone interested in some dubia roaches?

 

[Stl_Greaser]

You are three of the last four posts advertising your selling roaches. That is not cool in my book. You should keep that to the classifieds in my opinion!

$75-100 per month

 

[ReptileWorld]

about $100 a month then again we breed our own feeders and just pick up a few things for variety. but before we started breeding meal worms and dubia it was tripple that.
