Protein helps them grow, so you probably want to start giving them either ground up cat/dog food or tropical fish flakes (my roaches love fish food, and it's high in protein and doesn't need to be ground up). You actually don't want to keep them somewhere "dry," since they are tropical roaches and native to hot, humid climates. As MarleyMoe suggested, you can spray water on the sides of the tub, but make sure it doesn't get the dry food or the egg crates wet, or you might end up with a mold problem. Keeping a full dish of water gels in the bin with them will help with humidity as well. If the humidity is too low, the roaches won't be able to molt, and they'll die.
