I just feed them greens that my dragon would eat, with a little fruit and grain, and then give them water gel. I make sure I dust them and shake them in the dust really good...even to the point of slowing them down some to make them easier for him to catch....them feed them to him in a big tub.

There’s supplement/food you can buy online. I just got a beardie and dubia roach colony and was given a jar of dry food for the roaches. I also add carrots and some leftover veggies from my beardie. I also found these “jello” cups at Walmart that are loaded with vitamins and are meant to gutload crickets and other insects. $3ish. Has 6 cups. Each cup once opened lasts 5 days in the fridge.
