seriously? They are the easiest feeders I've ever dealt with! I just use a large Rubbermaid tub, replace the center of the top with aluminum screen, and paint the top three inches or so of the inside walls with a Teflon paint called Bug Stop which prevents them from crawling out through any little gaps in the lid without the mess of vaseline. I heat the enclosure with a ceramic heater in a dome reflector. I don't use any substrate, except cardboard egg trays from www.eggcartons.com which can be replaced whenever tey get a little stinky or dirty. The cage only needs to be cleaned every month or two. I feed the roaches whatever veggies are in the fridge that are going funky, and fish food I buy in bulk. Also, lobster roaches never smell, make noise, and, with the proper precautions (as described), they never escape!
Just my $0.02
