Good feeder insect in addition to cricket?

There are cockroaches and cockroaches. As far as I'm aware, there is only one species of cricket sold in the US as a feeder, 2 species in Europe and I'm not sure elsewhere. There are many different types of cockroach, with variations on the nutrition info you've posted and different chitin:meat ratios. Unlike crickets, it's hard to pigeon-hole cockroaches, not to mention that I doubt anyone would feed an American cockroach to their pet.

In that case it would be hard to shop for a good companion to the crickets. (Speaking foodwise not habitat wise) Unless someone had the nutritional values written in bold print on their sign. XD

So my question now becomes...Is it safe to raise a frog only on crickets provided they have calcium supplement and the gut load first?

The simple answer is yes.

Also cockroaches like dubias cannot climb glass so with them there is usually not quite the risk of an infestation.
