Can/will they chew through screen? I am thinking about converting my cricket tub into a Dubia tub but there is a bunch of screen on the sides and top.

i don't think they chew through the screens. what kind of screesns are in your tub now? metal or plastic?

 

[MojoStylee]

They are metal but I goofed the holes I made so they are on the sides of the tub, only about 1/2 in. from the bottom.

Here's my roach bin. This one is for my nymphs. I have a seperate one for my breeding colony. Very easy to put together.

 

[camimom]

awesome!

why do yu seperate the nymphs and the breeders?

 

[Rottsko]

Easier for me to separate the nymphs when I feed to my chams. It's a pain trying to grab a tiny little dubia when there are a bunch of full size ones around it.
