Roaches feed when it's dark or quiet. Unless your sitting by the cage all day your not likely to see them eat.
I haven't seen my Discoids or Orange heads eat or drink but they are multiplying and still alive, heck i can't remember when i saw the last lol...

They are probably eating 
You not seeing them eat might just be a sign that they are very well fed and only feed here and there during lights out. If you were to take away the water source and food source for a day or so, then put it back in, more then likely they will kind of flock to it. But I wouldnt worry about it! Trust me, in no time at all you will have thousands!LOL Goodluck, Lindsay
