No need to worry about B. giganteus taking over they are very slow growing.
B. Giganteus youngs are about 5mm long, but can probably squueze through somewhat smaller holes. If there`s nothong bigger than that in that box of yours, then you should be OK. Only problem could be that they like privacy and darkness; too much hazzle around them could lead to aborted egg-cases. And it`s not a good species to raise as feeders; as mentioned they are slower growers than most others. B. Fusca is a close relative, almost as big and a much more fast to grow.
