Dubia Dude First Instar Aug 17, 2013 #5 You could probably get at least 2000 in there. Maybe a bit more Dubia like to be crowded together though. Using 12"x12" Paper Egg Trays stacked vertically gives them more surface space Leave some room to add food and water crystal trays 11 gal is a bit of a small bin IMO.

Dubia Dude First Instar Aug 19, 2013 #7 Thats about an 18.5 gal tub. You should be able to get a good sized colony going. Somewhere around 5000 Dubia
