    For what purpose? I know the petshops I used to work in stocked live crickets, locusts, mealworms, etc. for reptile food but never saw moths - but whether they're available to buy on request I'm not sure.

    Found these links if it helps

    What would you do with them once they hatched? It's the wrong time of year to release them as they wouldn't be able to hibernate or feed.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
