How many roaches?

Zander

First Instar
I want to start a shelfordella lateralis (Turkish roach) colony and I am wondering about how many I should get. I have 2 adult bearded dragons, 1 sub adult bearded dragon, and I am going to be breeding my 2 adult bearded dragons.

 
A whole heck of a lot. My single bearded dragon tore through my 1,000 strong colony faster than the adults could mature. In the end I switched to dubia just because I didn't need to feed her as many and they were able to mature and breed in time. Lats are small roaches, it takes quit e a few to satiate a beardies appetite.
