    i'm just thinking what might be a reasoning for people to keep a few species together, save space? to have one bin instead of 2?
    but for pure science i"ll be following this experiment, thank you!
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Pretty much the main reason.

    I get asked a lot if they can be housed together as well. Never really can give a straight answer as I have never kept the colonies together.

    I have had a few dubia nymphs in my hisser colony without insident but thats about it. I will be reading this too .

    I do take the environment into account. And i am happy you brought this up i will keep them in the same temp and humidity i keep the rest of my colony's but i really should expand to other environments. If someone can provide some more info on how the environment can play a role in cannibalize it would only help the final analysis on the matter. If so i will expand my experiment.

    For space is the only reason i have come across. I had several people at the super shows ask me if they could keep them together to save space and money on bins. I really couldnt answer the questions but hopefully what i find will give me in-site on how to give better advice not only to my customers but to everyone.
