How many roaches and how often would you feed?
Is there anything special I should be doing for her age? Almost all the info you find on PACs is for the small young ones.. She's isn't small or young.

Depends on the size of the roach. The different life stages for the dubia roaches have a pretty vast size difference, so it'll depend on what size dubias you're working with. There's a rule that's something like as much as they'll eat in a certain number of minutes, but it's escaping me right now. Hopefully someone who remembers it will reply (you can also do a search on here, it's been mentioned in loads of threads)

You may be having difficulty with the worms if they aren't Canadian night crawlers, which I know are hard to raise at home. Your typical worm will taste and smell bad to the frog. I really like dubias, much easier, less smell, and basically no escapees compared to crickets. You should be able to mail order some, but I would be cautious of it this time of year, depending on how remote you are in Alaska, and the current weather, they might not survive the trip.
Everybody has given a great advise already. I'll add a bit.
get Pacman food, powdered one, you can mix a ball in a size of a mouse, as a variety this food is convenient, but nightcrawlers are the best staple. You don't need to run to the store a lot, just get more at a time, add some dirt and put in a fridge. I have kept mine at one time for 8 months., but I ordered online a very big quantity.
Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
Where in Alaska are you?
