I feed all my roach's primarily the same thing. I use a dry cricket diet along with monkey biskets. You really to give alot of protien to certain species are you will notice alot of wing biting.

For the water requirements I offer carrots, wild strawberries, banana, mango and carrots.

Try raising the temps in the area you have them. If they are to cool they will stop eatting.

You name it I have feed it too my roaches, they eat anything, my colony ate an entire apple (peeled) core and all in a couple hours, although i was dealing with lobster roaches, the only time mine don’t devour anything that enters the cage is if the temps are too low. They also seem too prefer leafy greens, if that helps at all.

Good luck,
Devon
