Don't feed them fruit. They are not designed to digest it properly nor does it have the nutrition they require. Also stay away from wax worms as they are high in fat and low in nutrition. Once they start some may refuse to eat anything else which will lead to you having to starve it to get it back to a normal diet. What is most impotant is how you gutload your feeders for their nutrition.

Personally I use mealworms the majority of the time. Acouple times a year I offer pinky mice, silkworms, or even crickets.
