Roaches + Egg Crates . .

[LizMarie]

I'm trying to get my roach thing ready for when I order some roaches BUT the one thing I can't seem to find are egg crates and its driving me nuts. I find them online but its a stack of like 100 when I just need like 4 or 5.

So can you please answer one of two questions or both..

-- Where can I find egg crates for cheap? Most places are charge $4 and change for a pack of 5 AND then $5.

-- If I can't find them can I use styrofoam egg cartons that you get your eggs in from the super-marker?

I got a 4 or 5 pack from theroachguy.com, along with my order of roaches (great service and prices!). It was less than $6 bucks for them... not too bad. I woudnt use the foam, I think it would be harder for them to grip it??? You can always use plain old cardboard and paper towel/toilet paper tubes. Just rip up a few cardboard boxes and place them in there with space in between. Also, you could buy a paper crimper (sp?) and "wrinkle" newspaper or something so its easier to grip, thats what I did with crickets, then I just piled it in there. Honestly, cardboard egg crates are probably the best out there...
