Sorry if this belongs in the vivariums section...

So I've been reading about using isopods and springtails to help maintain a clean, bioactive terrarium and I was wondering if I could use these in my dubia colony to keep the exoskeletons and dead roaches to a minimum, or would the dubias eat the ispods even if I keep them well-fed? Also, does anyone know anywhere locally (Phoenix, AZ) I could pick some of these up? I'd collect from outside but I'm concerned about bringing parasites and diseases into my feeder roach colony.

On the subject of making my roach colony a little more bioefficient, could I plant some pothos to make it more humid or would they eat that too?
