1. What do you currently use for your dry food? Do you make a mix yourself or do you buy a pre-made food that is made for a different type of animal?
Whatever dry cat or dog food is on clearance.

2. Are you having a lot of success with this dry food? What I mean by this is have you been having consistently low die offs and high breeding numbers while using it?
In 6 months, I could count the amount of die offs on my fingers.

3. How many Dubia do you currently keep and what size tub do you keep them in?
~1500 in an 18 gallon smooth walled Rubbermaid tub.

4. How many full size 12x12 egg crates and/or cut egg crates do you use for the number of roaches that you have in each tub?
I use whole egg cartons that I got from the supermarket for free. They ordered me a huge plastic sleeve with a few hundred cartons that they got for free because they have a good relationship with the egg supplier. I told them I was doing arts and crafts with kids with them. Don't judge me. I think I use 6 total per cleaning.

5. Do you have your fruit, water, and dry food bowls on the ground of the tub or raised up and sitting on top of egg crates? I ask this because since putting mine about 8 inches up on top of egg crates it seems like they aren't hardly getting to them even though egg crates are surrounding them making it easy to get in and out.
I have some 2 inch high tupperwares that I cut one side off and just sit them flat on the floor. The roaches drag the dry food out and all over the tub, but I keep humidity relatively low and watch for mold and clean diligently when I see it.

I think that I had one more question but I accidentally deleted all of the write up and had to redo it so I don't know what I had written. If you can think of any extra information to add please do so. I'm sure that this will be helpful to more people than just myself.
I clean them maybe every 2-3 months.. pretty much only if I see mold anywhere. I don't give veggies simply because it's a lot of extra cleaning. I have considered feeding citrus to boost production.

Thanks in advance,
Adam
