Fresh clean grass is the best you can feed them really. With the gutloading diets etc they are very high in animal/fish proteins. Locusts are strictly vegetarian so shouldn`t really be given the fishflake and other things that crickets are often gutloaded with. Grass and green leafy stuff like green cabbage is the best.
