Roaches in cage overnight

[joef]

So I know this is a bearded dragon forum, but I got a pacman frog and I showed her to someone and now she won't burrow down to go to sleep in the dirt. There is 3 red runner roaches in the tank that I can't catch to get out. So will they eat her while she sleeps ontop of the dirt?

No. Most roaches when put into another animal cage won't hurt them, unlike crickets. If you want to put some dirt ontop of her to 'hide' her if you're paranoid, go ahead.

Thanks, that's what I figured but wanted to make sure. What I've been doing though is just throwing a couple roaches in there (it's a 10g tank) so she can eat them, but she can't really find them, should I put a divider in there and take out a couple stickers so the roaches will run around more for her to find?

Leave the greens/salad in the viv overnight , the bugs are going to go to that to have a nibble to feed or get moisture rather than the beardie's soft spots ..
