I keep tarantulas as pet and of course I also keep larvae of dark beetle for them to eat. I normally wait for the larvaes to curl up(curl in) sorry about my English , I am not India nor hindi. When they do, I place one piece of it in each enclosure.
So when my tarantulas are hungry, they will just eat their supply.

You can do these with larvaes, but with mole Crickets, roaches it's hard to keep them. And you need to keep them alive. And you want it less hussle if not, atleast fun.
I tried to keep them in a container but they do not seem to multiply.

What else do you have as food for your Tarantulas?

You're talking about superworms...they're a fine feeder....but if you're tarantula molts, they will eat your tarantula

There are many kinds of roaches, and some multiply much faster than others. I like to use Periplaneta lateralis (which have formerly been called Blatta lateralis and Shelfordella lateralis).
In English, we call this species by many common names: red runner cockroaches, Turkestan cochroaches, rusty red cockroaches, or just lats. I know a Filipino keeper who calls these "pulang ipis" if that helps.
They have many desirable properties as feeder insects and cannot climb smooth glass, reproduce rapidly if you keep them warm enough, live a long time, and don't smell bad.
These cannot survive in the wild where I live; it's too cold. They do run wild in the Philippines in a few places as a recently introduced, non-native species.

sorry about my English , I am not India nor hindi.
That doesn't matter. I am not India or hindi either, and people here are still helpful and nice to me. Many members here come from English-speaking countries, with English being the only language they speak, and they still can't speak good English. So it isn't necessary, and don't worry about it. 🌈 👍

P.S. Remember never to give thumbs up (👍 ) to someone from Italy. To Italians it doesn't have the same good meaning that it does for us Americans and Filipinos. ☮

I gave you thumbs up to make you are not constantine. If there is a "miner", there is "own"ER.
A miner says,
" Hey it's mine!"
Owner would say I own this child even though they are spawn. And they meant They don't care.
I don't know them. I non sciere. :)
