Leafy greens from the supermarket are good, but in the past I've used orange segments, potatoes cut in halves or quarters, and tropical fish flakes.

well chris, mine shop and all are fed on a good mix of:

spring greens,
carrot cut and rolled in 50/50 mix of nutrobal and non phosphrus or phosphrus based calcium depending on the animal if it is carnivorious or omnivourous...

also cricket diet mixed with the same 50/50 mix wetted down and made into balls...

well my spelling is crap today but you get the drift lol...

Jon

If you wish to keep your locusts for less than a week before using them as live food,they can remain in their original plastic tub or bag and be maintained at a temperature of 60-70'f. if, However, you wish to maintain them for longer periods, We recommend the following:
  • Place them in a large, escape-proof container.
  • Provide food in the form of broad green-leaf vegetables (eg cabbage) and also bran.
  • Provide a non-fluctuating temperature of 77-95'f(25-30'c).
  • Provide an egg tray or wire frame for the locusts to climb on.
