How to pack climbing roach species?

[makoygaara]

Hi guys. I would like to ask how to pack lobster roaches, harlequins, and other fast climbing roach species?

How do you pack them?

I find it difficult to imagine on how to transfer them from one container to another when selling them considering that plastic tubs are no match.

I don't have experience yet on this one because I have bred and sold non-climbing feeders like black field crickets, dubias, and lateralis.

Are there any other methods?

Can someone help me on this?

Thank you so much in advance.

Get the ones you want to ship into a "work" bin and put whatever you are shipping them in into the bin as their only hiding spot (I use a box with eggcrate in it). Do this a day before you want to ship. Toss some food into their shipping container and they will pack themselves! Works like magic every time.

Hi KitKatie. Yes that is a great method. I'm using a medium sized microwaveable container and newspapers in it for packing. Thank you and I'll follow your advice.
