[QUOTE="kormath, post: 75254, member: 4199"] sounds fine. I'd give them larger carrot slices than shreds, they can get their moisture from those and the shreds dry out fast. I'd go with dry food rather than moist, then you can let it sit until it's eaten. They shouldn't need a heat source unless you're trying to breed them. My house stays in the upper 70s 75-78 or so year round, and they do fine with those temps. If you're wanting them to breed quickly then use the heat source. I give mine veggies to eat once or twice a week, depending how quickly they eat them, and some purchased roach chow. For water i use the Fluker's water gel in a mesh type "bowl" thing so it doesn't roll all over and get into the food. Few egg crates so they can hide and i'm now being overrun by roaches lol. Might have to start feeding off the adults faster as by last count i had a dozen or so males and that many or more females dropping egg cases. [/QUOTE]
