There a big leafy green vegetable. Could try Romain lettuce too.
Collards on the right...

You can feed them greens (dandelion, kale, collards, endive, escarole, mustard greens, etc.) and veggies (cut to appropriate sizes...carrots, sweet potato, sweet red pepper, squash, zucchini, etc.) and a bit of fruit (apple wedges, pear wedges, melon, berries, etc.).
Putting these things in the cage also feeds the crickets until they are eaten.

My Norman loves Kale. But only after it has dried up a bit. I think he likes the noise dried up kale makes.

Fred doesn't like vegetables or fruit too much. I actually have to let it touch his mouth for like five minutes before he finally, and reluctantly, takes it from me. I want him to have his nutrients! I think the only reason he takes it from me is because he knows he won't be leaving the dinner table until he eats his vegetables.
I use collard, mustard greens and kale. He seems to hate them all equally. lol

I look at it as lack of water. Trying to derive moisture from the leaves, or the shine from leaves is sometimes associated with the reflection of water.
Lettuce offers little nutritional value.
