Housing for dubia roaches?

[JoseLorenzoFTW]

What's the best, and minimum housing for dubia roaches? Because I'll just keep them in my room, and I guess my mum wouldn't allow them if it takes a big portion of my room. She'll just say that it's 'trash' lol. :main_yes:

Smooth-sided plastic bin with ventilation, egg crates, and heat. Go to Google and do a search for dubia roach setup to get ideas, but they are pretty simple to keep.

I posted some pics of my setup a while ago in this thread:

Thanks, but I meant on where do you keep or store them? How many liters? Could they survive and breed in a 14l tub?

Mine's a 22-gallon. I think some people have used smaller tubs, but you have to have something with a good wall height to prevent them from escaping. They can't climb smooth walls, but the adult males can jump and flutter a bit, so if they can get to the edge, they can escape. If you are not going to allow them to become adults, you won't have to worry about it, but if you want a breeding colony, more space would be helpful.
