quick dubia question

[Marleykeeper]

Today I spent about an hour making a dubia roach tank i set up the housing area using blue foam sheets, they are used for house insulation, and i was ondering if the dubia can climb on it. I took of the plastic film and scuffed them up pretty good so im hoping they can climb them but does anyone know for sure

Where are you located? A local forum member may be able to hook you up with a few egg crates.

Suggestions:
Go to a breakfast place that serves eggs.
Mom and Pop or Franchise.
Ask the manager.
Most will give you all the egg cartons you want .:main_thumbsup:
Want some food for prey?
Some stores selling Corn ears let customers
shuck the corn there in a trash can.
Others put bruised fruit in too.
No problem getting it if you ask.:main_thumbsup:
Meal, Super, Crickets, Roaches will
chow down on it.

Take care. Hj

My friend works at subway and he gave me a few boxes so I cut them up into sheets and used some wood planks to put in between to act as spacers I think it will work. They are standing vertically so the poo goes to the bottom and there is surface area to climb so I think that's all that really matters right?
