Am in Ca. and I use to raise them on tunas the cactus patty not the fruit 
the patty .  I would wipe the thorns off  lay the cactus over the brand use 
them  to feed pheasants in city because they did not want chicken noises. 
hehe.  I only had to buy mealworms  once .  cut a cactus leaf lay on top of 
brand add mealworms and they just breed and breed .    A lot of birds like 
them.  you throw them meal worms and you have a  bird friend for life. 
reptiles like them also.  Chickens love them and I think they will raise 
more chicks.
