Is it safe to leave a micro-roach in the enclosure? Other food alternatives?

[QUOTE="SpidersNPlantsNThings, post: 220729, member: 39552"] I know it's bad to leave crickets. I have a tiny sling G. Pulchripes(Chaco Golden Knee). I got some micro-roaches for her and it's not going well. Nothing wrong with the roaches themselves, but they start burrowing the second they hit the substrate and one of them got away completely. Is it safe to leave it in there or do I need to dig up the enclosure and find it? It's right at her hide, so it'll be a full-on removal and major disturbance to get it out. Would not recommend tiny burrowing roaches as feeders. If the T doesn't grab them Immediately, they disappear and you have to dig them out. They're proving to be a total PITA. [/QUOTE]
