You should throw in something like red leaf lettuce,green leaf lettuce,romaine lettuce,or if you have a safe place to pick them.Dandelion leaves are good i heard.So are aquatic plants.

Cabbage, peas, bananas don't need to be on your feeding list either.

You are correct - crickets are a treat not a meal. The most nutritious crickets are those that have been "gut-loaded" (ie, fed) calcium.

Seeds sound like something that could get impacted. Why not just concentrate on the foods that you know are good for them?
