technically yes..............
BUT the hatchies would be in the dark all the time - no natural photoperiod
AND you'd have to open the tub everytime you wanted to check on them
AND ice cream tubs are quite big (well the ones i buy are lol  ) |

if you're buiding your rack around your tubs/RUBs then make sure the height of the shelves means the tubs fit in snugly.....that will help keep the lids on securely and help prevent escapees |

i've also heard that the 'flip top' type boxes aren't very secure either with a few reports of escapees from those too :( |

You could get hatchling tubs from 888reptiles |

as eeji says cricket/takeaway tubs start to get loose and break after you open them a few times |

cricket tubs aren't the most secure things in the world, so you may get some escapes :(
I use clip shut boxes from asda and melt some vent holes in them |

The same tubs as Black crix/locust??
They have a better lid than normal cricket tubs. |

i have a few of them gp but they are quite shallow been looking at rubs and some of them are only 35 mm high on the inside |

i use the sort of tubs you get from some chinese takeaways rather than RUBs.........
i've not got any to hand but i think they're roughly 4" x 6" ish |
