I need to make my roach colony some chow because all the fresh stuff is becoming a lot to do. What’s some good ingredients for roach chow?

There are a variety of items to use. Spirulina and bee pollen are great for providing vitamins but do come at a heavy cost. Avoid things with high protein like cat food. I can link you to some roach chow pages with their ingredients. Also, since this works with crickets, it'd likely work with Roaches. Here it is. You can either mix up some super premium stuff or you can do a basic gutload and possibly add some multivitamin like herptivite. Here's an example of what I plan to do very soon for my crickets(basic ingredients).

Ingredients

Oats

Collard greens

Dandelion greens

Carrots

Some apple

Possible pinch of herptivite multivitamin

Possible couple pieces from National Geographic's herbivorous reptile diet

And some other possible ingredients if I find any good ones on hand.

Blend it all up and pour it into ice trays. Store in the freezer and it should last a couple months.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
