So I want to get a baby BD but.....
I added up the food costs and this is what I got- A baby BD can eat up to 50 crickts a day. At the local family pet shop, down the road from me, they sell a dozen for 1$. If I need about 50 cricktes, thats 4$ a day/28$ a week/168$ a month/2016$ a year. That is with out the vegies. I was just wondering if this is really what it is. I really think these guy are intreresting herps to have in a collection, just this will be a con on list (cost of food): Do I Really Want To By A BD?
Anyone who has info feel free to say it:gj:

How does that cost and how many come in a package?

You can always get them online and buy in bulk to save money too. If you have the room you just need a keeper/carrier and some cricket gut loading food from a pet store. I see it in the reptile section of my local petsmart. This site sells them, and while the 100 crickets is about the same as what you'd pay getting them by the dozen, the 500 crickets is saving a lot in comparison. There are other sites too. I just googled buying crickets and a lot of results came up. Or if you can find a local bait shop as grits mentioned they'll be cheaper too.

Check out Ghanns Cricket FArm or the like and buy 1000 at a time
There's also roaches, and different types of worms available as food too.
Veggies dont add up to much here. A couple bucks in them can go a long way
