we have a few varieties locally which i also have tried to raise in the past as well,they will feed and do fine for a short time,but have also had little luck with them.(even with using dark walled enclosures with bright lights as per instruction online to keep them from smashing the walls,they continue to do so)they don't seem to make very hardy captives,and i tend to release them as well after losing a few.(seems they are miserable captives...lol)
they are definitely fast and fly quite well making them incredibly poor choice as a caged inhabitant..(my opinion)
