Moldy dubia roach colony

So I put a lot of veggies into my dubia bin, and a few days later it was all moldy. I plan to clean out the mold and let it sit for a week to give it time to pass through their systems. Is this safe? Also, I assume that if the dubias ate mold they would die. I picked some that were alive and active and fed them to Mars. Now that I think about that I should've checked first. Is there a better way I should go about this situation?

I am not sure -- cleaning the tank out after finding the mold in there is a good idea -- I have not had that issue w/ mine except w/ some fruit that went bad - I cleaned out the tank and it was fine -- I have a little brush and dust pan I sweep the tank out of the frass about once a week or so - I also put the food oranges carrots squash etc on a paper towel and set it in the tank --- clean up is pretty easy doing this the dubia food is in a small dish along w/ the water crystals that are like beads or pellets - just watch your dragon for any unusual behavior
