    Another good couple media for raising house flies is Layers pellets (for chickens ;) ) and chick crumbs, obviously both with added water, don't smell to bad either. Good luck with yours.

    does this look normal?

    That is not a Creobroter gemmatus ooth, if it is then there is something wrong, from the pic it's hard to tell if it's ok although you can never normally tell untill they hatch unless unless there's large gapping holes it or exposed eggs, the ootheca in the pic looks more like a Pseudoharpax...
