Getting Crickets Online and Eating Veggies?

[Lilypad]

So I've had my beardie for about a month now and I've been buying small crickets from our local pet store. I have a container to hold them and a calcium block to gut load them. However, my beardie's appetite has been growing and buying crickets from the pet store is really expensive to do in bulk, at least at mine.

Are there any websites that you all trust getting your crickets from? And what size would you recommend getting for beardie? He's about two months old and I have a picture of him here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/275543929221283840/504335772573499433/Snapchat-1931373094.jpg and here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/275543929221283840/504335381693464588/20181023_114821.jpg

On another note I am struggling to get him to eat his veggies and fruits. I have tried strawberries, peaches, carrots, acorn squash, and apples. The only thing he seems to really like is green bell peppers but I read they shouldn't eat too many of those. I know he's really attracted to the color green as I cannot put anything green in there without him attacking it. Do you have any suggestions?? Also, how often should I be feeding him the veggies? Is he going to get sick because I can't get him to eat any right now?

He's about 2 months old …. so concentrate on feeding insects from this selection (add roaches and locusts if you can get them small enough (no longer than the space between his eyes) + BSFL (the lavae, pupae (snip their heads off) and flies) : viewtopic.php?f=45&t=244111&p=1859195#p1859195

Be thankful if he shows any interest in greens or grated veg at his age. Really needs three meals per day of LIVE insects for about another 4 months before going to two feeds of live insects per day.
Keep offering the salad but if he ignores it , don't get too obsessive about this.
