Re: I got dubias!
You don't need any sort of substrate or tank liner. Do you have egg flats in there for them to hide in? Otherwise everything sounds great you will want to get some water crystals though and make sure you change the fruit daily if it molds it will kill your colony.

Re: I got dubias!
You can get water crystals at any pet store pretty much you can either buy the ones that have already had water added and they look like mooshy ice cubes or buy the crystals and then mix them with water. The only problem I see with paper towel is it would get nasty and remember you want to leave all the poop in there thats what the babies eat so you never have to clean the cage. Also when trying to get babies out I think a lot of them would be hiding under the paper towel.

Re: I got dubias!
In a pinch this works... I get mine locally and the roaches do use it.

Yes, just fine.
Fave treat - Banana, put a slice of a fresh banana in there, they love them. just change daily, banana goes yucky quick.
Halloween is coming up, put a pumpkin chunk in there for a day.
