1. Silent brown crickets
2. Silkworms
3. Locust (or are these to big?)

Mealworms, Giant Mealworms, Locust (4th's) black Crickets, brown silent crickets, house / banded crickets, waxworms, silkworms.

All the above, mix as much as possible. A good staple diet would be locust and Crickets, then wax, mealworm and silkies every few days as a treat. Waxworms are quite fattening, a great food but not to be used exclusively (once a week is good).

Don't forget a bit of green leafy veg, whenever they will eat it.
