the 2 colony's i have going are not enought so i want to start another 1 or 2 but want something alot bigger then what i have. Any idea of what to use?
We used large plastic tubs - excellent! Make sure you have fluon around the top though to stop escapees. These are the ones we had listed for sale yesterday - found them to be a great design - we "inherited" them from a very clever insect breeder.
Forgot to mention that we used egg cartons for them to hide in - you can see them through the plastic in the first photo - cut in half and sitting straight up and down - second photo we were using to see how many were in there...
just a note - if you use a lot of egg cartons, but don't buy eggs, check out your friendly local egg farm, or packing factory, they always have heaps they are throwing out
