They are in the hopper stage now and it will be 21 days next Tuesday and I will be separating them ... My question is, can I keep all 9 buggers in a 10 gallon tank? I mean, they will be fed off weekly (2 at a time). My concern is with cannibalism and/or overcrowding. They will have plenty of food and water ...

Thanks in advance
With plenty of food and water (and constant cleaning) yes they should do fine. The bigger issue is that over the next 5 weeks you will have another litter (and this will cause issues). I would recommend you at least remove the breeding pair to a seperate cage and just leave the hoppers in a cage together.
