Can you keep dubia roaches in a cricket keeper

Q: What can you store Dubia roaches in?

Dubia roaches arent able to climb smooth surfaces, so many people choose to store them in large, opaque, plastic storage totes, which can be purchased at many retail stores. The totes can be easily modified if you choose to keep a lid attached, although most would consider it to be unnecessary.

You can return most new, unopened items fulfilled by Amazon AU within 30 days of receipt of delivery for a replacement or full refund of the price you paid for the item if you change your mind - see About Replacements and About Refunds.

It does seem the banded last longer but for the small amount you need it would be better to go grab a few from the pet store. It will also depends on what she prefers to eat. One gecko is not going to eat very much.

Thank you ann I was hoping to just have maybe a dozen crickets at once but also have 2 dozen Dubia Roaches sense they last longer and I am hoping Angel prefers to eat them over The Crickets she's currently eating Crickets but let me be honest they are noisy and they smell horrible and they're escape artists I've heard a lot of African Fat Tails tend to go for Dubia Roaches and or crickets for the most liked feeder insects but some only prefer one over the other I will have to store her feeder insects in my room but I know Crickets are escape artists and I'm not sure what to keep them in she currently eats four 1/2 " crickets a day so that's why I was thinking of only having around 12 at a time. No more then that any tips on what to house the crickets in?

Fin I'm absolutely in Love with This Mini Fridge it in a way reminds me of My aunt and uncles Red Retro Fridge in there's game room / sun room I'm in Love plus Red is my Favorite color and it's the shade of Red on My White Tiger Print Lamp that has a Red Elephant on it so it will match my room perfectly because my main Colors are Black White and red I was even thinking of adding a Medium Teal or Royal purple or even an Orchod purple but so far just Black White and red for Colors and a White Tiger Print theme how well is this Fridge working out of curiosity that's seriously a Steal I love it. Also I might have to keep the Cricket in my room for now sense they're is no room in the Garage but hopefully Angel will go straight for Dubias and Nutri Grubs. Thank you so much for all the help.

LoL at heating a whole cupboard to heat a box its a bit of an over kill ain't it, you are using 10 times the amount of electric needed

Well it's heating TWO boxes. As for electric, no not really. The heater is on about 10 - 15 mins every hour to keep the temps, so I can't see how that is using more electric than two heat mats that are on 24/7.

there is massive gaps in the doors and everything.
Even if you seal the doors then the roaches won't be getting enough air

I'm not sure what your definition of "massive" is, but I do wonder if your partner has been telling you that this: <------> is six inches. :whistling2:

Yes there is a gap at the top of the doors, it's about 1cm and is there for ventilation.

people use heatmats for a reason they work this idea of yours is crazy :2thumb:

Like I make clear, this is how I do it and I certainly won't criticise anyone else for doing different. People also used to think that the earth being round was crazy.

Looks to me like that cupboard would be a lot better suited to growing a curtain illegal plant :gasp:

Well I guess that speaks more to your frame of mind than anything :Na_Na_Na_Na:

Sorry if it sounds a bit harsh but its all true. :2thumb:

It doesn't sound harsh, just downright rude. :welcome:

Perhaps it's the way that he's being told that he doesn't like. When i read your first comments here it was obvious that it was a bit of spill over from the other roach thread where you 2 were arguing. There's nothing wrong with stating your opinion, but there's no need to be rude about it as you were, especially in the first thread.

The first thread I simply stated that using second hand egg crates wasn't the best of ideas they could contain germs, then this guy went off on one with post after post saying how I was trying to scare people and thats why he didn't get the nicest approach this time.

Can Dubia roaches be kept with crickets?

You have many options when it comes to housing dubia cockroaches. You can keep them in an EXTRA LARGE CRITTER KEEPER. 10-gallon glass tanks, rubber storage tubs with ventilation holes, or a 5 gallon bucket with a ventilated lid will work as well.
