This site's language filter will not allow the full word for roaches.  If at all possible, remove any uneaten food after 24 hours & do not panic if your T does not feed for a month or more. They can go many months without food. Crickets can bite, so I use food that is shorter than my T's abdomen. But with a roach, you crush the head, as this stop them burrowing & returning as a beetle. A roach can live many days, some say weeks, without a head. What you feed will depend upon what you can get locally.</blockquote>
