egg crates provide the best surface area per square inch.We recommend
stacking the egg crate flats vertically so the Red Runner roach droppings
fall to the bottom of the housing. Make sure that the cover is on tight and that the egg crate does not extend
so close to the top of the enclosure that the roaches can crawl out (a good
inch from top edge to top of eggcrate is ideal).
