Yesterday i found a fair bit of mold in the bottom of my red runner colony basket, i cleaned it out thoroughly and i saw no dead roaches and didn't spot any of them eating or sitting near the mold.
However my question is, since i use this colony to feed my T's is it safe to still feed them the roaches that were exposed to the mold? Or should i wait till their digestive system has no more traces of it in case they ate it?

I'm not that educated on how roaches work when it comes to food and mold in all honesty so some extra information would also be nice.

Thanks in advance!

Mold shouldn’t be an issue. Maybe increase ventilation of the roach colony. I don’t think they would eat the mold.
