The wax worms I have are never wiggly enough for frogs to see them. If I get small crickets I can't catch them, they spring out of their box faster than the eye can see. But I'll keep offering mine different food so they don't get bored.
Dubia roaches aren't risky at all. You should never feed your frog any random roach you just happen to catch, but dubias are bred by people who have businesses dedicated to producing reptile feeders, and they're 100% safe.

Crickets are a pain. How large is your frog? A good rule for the size animal a frog can eat is the food shouldn't be any wider than the space between their eyes. Most pacs can probably eat larger food than that, but if you're not sure it's a good rule to go by. Are you tong-feeding? Give that a try. Sometimes frogs will respond better to food being waved right in front of their face than something lying in the dirt.
