Do not use cat/dog food. They get plenty of protein from the fresh veggies/fruits and they dry gutload. If you are concerned about protein add a some bee pollen or spirulina into the dry gutload. As for the veggies/fruit, try to switch up what you use each week (so this week use collard greens and carrot, next week pick two or three different things to use.
I don't suggest using the repashy all in one every day because supplements should help fill in any gaps that your gutloading doesn't provide. I suggest just sticking to the other schedule I provided.
Since the female is black and yellow, that means that she is probably pregnant with eggs (they don't need a male to lay eggs.) You need to research egg laying and get her a laying bin in her cage ASAP so she can lay them when she needs to. A 12x12x8 opaque bin filled with moist clean play sand or soil will be fine. Make sure it is moist enough that she can dig a tunnel in it without the soil/sand collapsing on her. Try digging a small tunnel yourself so that you can check it.

It depends on when she started making them. They generally lay about 30 days after they mate/begin to make them so it could be anytime. If you notice her digging, dont bother her and leave her alone. If she sees you, she may abandon the hole and start a new one. If that happens too many times (or even just once with some females) she can become eggbound and need vet care to help her pass them.

If it's a very small plant and the roots don't take up more than a very small spot in the laying bin, it's okay. A fake plant would also be okay. The issue is that the roots will eventually grow out and take up the whole bin.
If you go that trash can route, you have to wait until she starts digging in the laying bin then you move her to the trash can. Then you leave her in there until she is done. She wont take more than a few days, so you don't need to give her UVB, but she does need some light and a branch to sit on while she is in there.
