Default roach setup

Could someone please upload some pictures of a roach setup.

I have bought a colony of 300 lobsters about a week ago. been feeding them but it doesnt look like they have been eating, probably have but just not eating much.

However ive now got a few dead ones only 3/4 just want to check ive got it right before i kill the rest.

Should they be sprayed for humidity?

our lobsters are kept in a vaselined tub, no lid, in the boiler cupboard. they have loo roll tubes, egg flats, boxes and fresh fruit and veg peelings every other day. ours have water gel too. we do find the odd dead ones, we clean them out every three/four weeks and find about a dozen adults on their backs. i would only worry if its babies that are dying.

We keep ours in large storage boxes with a nice thick layer of vasaline around the top.No lid but a constant heat of 78-82 degrees.They have plenty of egg flats and are fed on bran and veg every day.Remove any uneaten veg after a couple of hours.We do not supply them with water in any way at all as they get all they need from the fresh veg
