It's very easy to go through 100 or more small crickets a day, i.e. be
prepared to spend a lot of money on crickets during the first 6-8 months of
ownership. The good news is that when they're older they should slow down
on the live food and switch to 80% or so veggies. I know there are some on
this list that have successfully bred their own feeders, but I believe that
this is a hobby unto itself. There are many online resources for buying
crickets in bulk. Mulberry Farms (http://www.mulberryfarms.com) and
Southern Wholesale Crickets (http://www.southerncricket.com) are two that
I've used. And do yourself a favor and buy a cricket keeper or two and a
cricket duster:

You'll find there's a lot of info on the web and most of it is conflicting,
as Daisy has already pointed out: beautifuldragons.com is a great site for
lots of good info. Once your tank is set up be sure to check out the list
of food options:

Have fun.
