What size storage comtainer for dubias?

[CrazyChamLady13]

Just wondering what size bin everyone keeps their dubias in? Have a huge order of 25f/15m adults plus 500+ nymphs going in the next week.

Thank you for looking!

This is the one I use 72qt. Its more expensive than the ones at say Walmart but the bottom is flat and therefore transfers the heat much much better than all the rest I have tried. It also seals much tighter to prevent escape.

I just checked and I use a 66qt container. Whatever size you decide to use make sure it's not clear. I also a louvered grate that has screen on one side glued to the top where I cut a hole for ventilation.

It's funny but one of my favorite thing to do is fill up the feeding bowl with food and after the light have been out a few minutes pop the top off and peek in with a flashlight. It's a roach feeding frenzy lol!
