Try a high quality low fat canned dog/cat food for meat - I suggest this because they usually have a kind of 'gravy' that will help the meat stick to the greens and veggies. Chop the greens and veggies up really small so that it's then hard for your bluey to pick out. You can chop with a knife or even easier is to get a chopper or food processor.

Crickets are basically worthless as far as nutrition and I'm not sure what kind of worms you are trying, but some are worthless as well. Check out the great caresheet at the site above for other food examples, etc.
