My friend has one bearded dragon and crickets are a pain for her to buy. With a growing dragon, she goes through quite a few crickets a week. I told her I would help breed some kind of feeder insect for her so she wouldn't have to buy them. She's moving to my area this summer so I figured that in the meantime I could start up some kind of breeding colony.

Question #1: What type of insect would be easiest to breed for a bearded dragon?

Question #2: What is a good set up for this insect?

Question #3: Do they smell or make noise? (I live with my mother in law)

Question #4: How much would it cost to operate this breeding colony?
