What do I feed pinhead crickets?

Loves VFT's!
I just had some baby crickets hatch this morning, what do I feed them? I tried looking it up, but every site just says to feed them, but they don't say with what. Right now I have carrots and potatoes in there, and a damp paper towel to drink from. I also put in a couple dog food kibbles. Is this alright?

You can feed them almost anything. Whenever I keep some, I provide:

Banana
Fish Flakes
Crushed Dog Kibble
Apple
Sponge soaked in Water
Leafy Greens
Iceberg Lettuce
 
I let all my crix eat the same thing, calcium enriched cereal grains from Flukers, a 1 lb jar lasts practically "forever". I use the clear yellow jello as their "water", occasionally I mist actual water into their container. I had to use pinheads when my anole was a hatchling they lived fine on that stuff.
 
grain?
 
Thanks :) I'll add some more fruits and veggies for them. I also have fish flakes, so I'll add that too.
 
Some dry oatmeal works good too.
 
Thanks, I'll add some oatmeal too :)
