I don't know about superior to crickets in every way, I've tried them and always went back to crickets. I think it has a lot to do with how many animals you have and what kind of cages you use. I can deal with a stray cricket around the house but a stray roach just isn't going to work here.

Some of my dragons ignored the roaches. Others didn't digest them well and they came out looking much like they went in. There is just a lot more shell in a roach compared to any other bug.

If you have only a few animals and they are housed in terrariums they could be a good choice if your animals accept them.
