If you can get some live adult crickets or cockroaches, you can breed them. To breed crickets, keep them in a 20 gallon(or 80 liter??) aquarium or container. Keep the temperature about 30 to 33 degrees celsius, or 80 to 85 degrees farenheit. Feed them fruits and vegetables and keep them dry. Provide a small container with damp soil or moss, and the females will lay eggs in it. If kept at the same temperature as the adults, the eggs will eventually hatch. Also give the crickets egg cartons or crumpled newspaper to hide in. To breed roaches, keep them in the same type of container, but put a 3 cm tall line of petroleum jelly around the top so they can’t climb out. Keep the temperature the same as you do with the crickets. Feed them fruits and vegetables, and some dry dog food for protein, or they will eat each other. The fruits and vegetables will provide enough water for crickets and roaches. Use some kind of bark or mulch for a substrate for the roaches, and give them egg cartons or crumpled newspaper to hide in. They will breed on their own.

Have you thought about buying crickets on the internet. You can buy a bunch of adult crickets and breed them.

I’d go for the roaches. Are lobster roaches native species there in Turkey?

Any worm you can get a hold of, you can breed. Like meal worms. Whatever worm you get, just let them do there thing. Just dont’ feed them off, untill you get a good colony.
