Thank you! Thank you!
Nope! Nope! Nope! Not touching them! They aren’t allowed to touch me either. I use this.
Discoid and dubia neither fly nor climb smooth surfaces. I keep mine in a massive plastic tote. Only the babies try to climb and they only make it a few inches up before falling.
Which makes sense for tote keeping. Im saying glass aquariums, with the silicon strip on the 4 sides, cant they climb that??
I don’t know. Maybe the little babies can, but I would think the big adults would be too big. I suppose one could always attach slick tape over the silicone strips to inhibit climbing ability.
So ummmm I had them in an aquarium but then also in a plastic container... It was when I first started keeping dubia. I guess I must have dropped one into the aquarium. I came back a few hours later and there was one crawling around the rim of the aquarium. It had to have crawled up the silicon strip because the other container was smaller and had a lid on it in the center of the tank with room going around.
Thats what I was thinking they'd do.
Yeah I went from a regular tank to a tank with slide in lid after that. I don't keep enough on hand at one time to make it worth while to keep them in a tote.
Yeah I had this happen I put them in a blue bin that was slightly rough. I walked away for a second to grab the lid and when I got back they were climbing to the top! I had to switch bins really fast after that or I would have to explain to my husband that I messed up
Oh dear! I have mine in a big blue tote. I’ve only ever seen the babies climb, but it does explain how I found an adult once across the house. Running out to buy clear totes now!
