It all depends, you run the risk of feeding a cockroach which may have recently eaten pesticides or been sprayed with chemicals. Is it really worth it?
Could always catch them and house them for a few days before feeding to be sure they aren't poisoned.
I think they are American Cockroaches by the way, big red suckers? Sydneys covered in them lol Just mho
