Hi I searched up on the internet and it said crickets diet can include mealworms and their good, but the food flyer on the forum it says they are not recommended should I feed them to him or no

They are not the best feeder. If the only feeder you have access to is crickets I would just stick with those and make sure you are properly gutloading them.

I don’t think they’re worst thing ever, but you should vary the diet as much as possible

They live where they can not get other feeders to have a very varied diet. So it would be only crickets and mealworms.

Understood.
I’d look into ordering online. I don’t really buy any bugs locally
And you don’t have to avoid the mealworms. Just don’t give them every day, but again, I wouldn’t give anything every day

the thing is amazon or any single online that sells bugs doesn't ship here and the only website that ship here is tokopedia and shopee and they don't sell bugs

I would check local social media for other reptile keepers or groups to learn where they get their various feeder insects from. You could also maybe ask your pet store if they can get any other feeders for you.
