does anyone do this because i have some Q's.
Q1: do they make noise because thats why i HATE feeding crix?
Q2: can they climb plastic?
Q3: sexing?

thanks for taking time to look at this thread :)
 
They dont make noise, well thats with medium ones i have.
They can climb plastic, but use packaging tape and they cant.
And not sure on sexing.
I was going to try to set up a colony this weekend too :D

you are a legand.
so just a line of packaging tape around the top and that will be fine (inside)?
 
they hiss when you pick them up and they make a rustling noise when moving, other than that, no.
yes, you will need fluon or vaso around the tub.
really? just buy a tub or 2 and leave them too it. (i think they can reproduce via parthenogenesis anyway)
 
Yep just 1 or 2 rows around the top of the enclosure or tub.

what is that like packaging tape?
 
its a liquid thingo.
Vaseline is petroleum jelly.
 
I bought the kit all set up and have to wait for them to breed before feeding to my beardies. You can buy Fluon (not sure of spelling), white stuff you paint around the edge of containers so they don't climb out. The females have the wings, a lighter color on top. It's also a good idea to give them some heat in Winter so they'll breed.
 
um, no, packing tape is packing tape. Fluon is a liquid teflon you can buy that the roaches cannot cross, and vaso is vasoline, the cheap and cheerful alternative to fluon. Smear a line about 2 cm wide around the entire top of the tub and they cannot cross it.

with the vasoline how long till you will have to put more on?
 
Here is a pic of one of mine. Only thing missing is the egg cartons, but the fluon is visible around the top. Lid of the tub has the middle cut out and replaced with aluminum mesh. You don't want them getting too hot in the warmer months as they'll die off fairly quickly.

I'll get the camera out if you want a photo of the complete set up.
 
unless you touch the vaso it doesn't wear out...
