I prefer the KISS method... Keep It Simple Stupid!!

Nothing fancy needs to be done with roaches I use a big plastic tote with a square hole cut in the lid, screen hot glued to the lid, and a heat lamp on a dimmer for heat. Fill with egg crates standing up so the frass (poop) falls to the bottom.

Cleaning! Remove egg crates. Bang against bucket until roaches are off. The babies at the bottom in the frass can be retrieved by putting an egg crate back in, and when they climb back up you just bang them into the bucket. You'll have some casualties, it's unavoidable. If your colony is reproducing as it should it shouldn't matter.

Keep the temps warm (88-92 is optimum breeding temps I've found) and plenty of food. Citrus fruits and banana's seem to be their favorite, which has enough water for them to thrive, however water gel should be offered if using dry foods such as cereal (they go nuts for Cheerios and monster cricket chow)

That's that!
