Question about enclosure for super worms

[Chewbecca]

Would a 34 qt/32 L long sterilite tub be big enough to keep 1,000 supers?
I bought two containers that size, and I'm not sure if I should put them all in the same one, or split them up and put them in both containers.

I'm trying to keep down on the "stink" that the super worms cause by grouping too many together.

But I'm thinking one enclosure should be big enough.

What do you all think?

what is the L and W of those containers. My supers came in today I have the 28qt containers that are 14"w x 22"l I currently have around 2k per but i might knock them back to say 1500 seems like might be to many. They are so large lol

I'm not sure the inches because the containers in the trunk of my car, and my husband has my car right now.

I contacted between 5-7 of the large breeders of mealworms/superworms asking them how many I should put in each container. All but one said i should be able to house 2k per container. However timberline said 1500. in my opinion if you have the two containers already I would just do half and half since you have them already. I would imagine it would only help decrease the stench

But one container is much easier to store when it's empty because I can just keep it in the trunk of my car.

OR, if I can fit all into one container, I can get 1,000 MORE supers and be stocked for a while.:main_yes:
