You can feed him as much as he wants within around 5-15 minutes twice a day. After he's a year old go down to once a day till he's around 20 months old then you will want to taper off to eventually 2-3x week.
You will want to dust one of those insect meals each day, 5 days a week. The other 2 days will be vitamins.
Once he's around 20 months you can go to calcium 3x week and vitamins 1x week.
Always offer salads every day whether he eats them or not. He should eat around 80% insects and 20% veggies. Once he gets close to 2yrs that ratio is flipped. Mine don't like to follow the rules but we're working on it. So try to encourage them to eat a little salad before you give insects.
Crickets, bsfl and dubia roaches are all recommended as a staple.
Dubia roaches are not the invasive cockroaches your mother is probably thinking of. They don't stink and make noise like crickets and are actually considered better than crickets because they have more protein. But it's always good to rotate them around. You can include some superwoms once in a while but would avoid making them a staple if you can.
