Now when I had these guys years ago, I actually got mine to reconize a dish for food, and they woul eat anything in it dead or alive, so movement isnt always key. But obviously being blind he will not be able to see and reconize a dish as food. Besides silkies, you can try phoenix worms, which are a soft bodied grub that is the highest calcium feeder insect that I know of. Mealworms are OK, but they lack good nutritional content, basiclylittle protien, some fat, and hard to digest chiton. You could also use small feeder roaches, like lobsters, these guys are a good feeder. Or you could pre-kill crickets for him. But I question the long term feeding of baby food as the protiens are not the same of that for insects. If you do go that route, I would consier looking into mazuri insectavor diet, you have to get it online, or if you have a vet office like mine, we carry it there.
