All monitors can eat both insects and rodents (ok, little ones would need little rodents). Which one you feed is up to you, but a big monitor is going to need a BUNCH of insects period. No way around that. Lots of monitor = lots of food. If you can breed roaches or buy thousands of crickets at a time, knock yourself out. If not, get a smaller monitor.

(perhaps I should look into breeding feeder wetas, but that's another story)
