Housing Supers?

[Range]

What's the smallest container you'd keep x amount of supers in?
I'm talking worms, not beetles here
I'm currently keeping approx. 150 of the things in an 8-cup gladware full of oatmeal and chicken mash. It's probably too small but it's bigger than the containers i got them in so I'm assuming it's fine for now.
Either way, they're worms. They don't particularly care.

The only thing to watch out for is that they can chew through plastic. I once had a lot of superworms in a deli cup and after awhile I took a look and found a hole in the cover. It was pretty gross when these huge beetles started showing up in the living room. If you crowd them too much they will start to die. I keep mine, when I have them, in a 12"x8" "faunarium" in gutload, but I usually have at least 500 at a time.

We keep about 200-300 in 6qt Iris tubs on ProGutload with a piece of egg crate.

*edit to add* We don't keep lids on any of our feeder containers. It's way too humid here.

I have about 50 or more in a 2qt (I think) container full of gutload, bedding, and various fruits and veggies for moisture and nutrition. Seems to do well. I have holes punctured in the lid which seems to do a well enough job of ventilating the container as I usually have to change the bedding about every week and a half or so due to mold/general mushiness.

i get anywhere from 20-60 at a time and keep them in a lil critter keeper, they seem to do fine for the most part...
