I would definitely avoid the insects. You want healthy animals, right? Not just fat ones? Rapid weight gain from heavy protein ingestion (plant or insect protein) is NOT healthy. Deal with any parasites as mentioned above. Provide a large habitat with a good heat gradient, good UVB, and a varied diet with dark leafy greens as the base. Add in small amounts of shredded veggies, a little bit of protein like lentils and crushed beans, seeds, dried grasses, bee pollen, and edible flowers. You'll have chubby, healthy lizards in good time.
