you will need about 600 adults minimum to keep you going i reckon .

600 adults = 300 males + 300 females .

300 females *40 babies a month =12000 = 3 months supply just in time for a new batch of 300*40.

to work this properly would take military precision .

once you have 600 adults . obviously it will take another 3 months for the babies to grow big enough to feed .

i personally would wait till i have more than enough just in case they dont breed as quick as you think .

take it slowly and use the crickets as back up .

eventually you will know how many you can feed off with out slowing the breeding down
