Exclamation Egg Boxes!

I am looking to start my own roach colony and wonder where you people get your egg boxes from?

try fishmongers or if your not shy try a local bar or resaurant we get cases of eggs and the crate is always thrown out when I'm not looking for some(work as a chef).

Hey
This is my 1st ever post!
I buy mine from 'P & T Poultry' online. It's about £10 for 70 large egg boxes then I just cut them to size.
U will need 2 b careful if gettin them from a butcher's or poultry farm, since u cant disinfect them, u cannot b sure they dont carry any nasties.
Hope I helped xxx

Other than recycling the ones that I use and taking the bits out of the livefood tubs, i used to get mine from McDonalds. They used to give me a black sack of them each month.
