They tend to stay away from greens when they are younger.

Just keep a little available, he'll start eating em.
Try Gut loading ur insects.

Try putting some silkworms or phoenix worm in the bowl with the greens. When my guy was younger it seemed to help. I have noticed that as mine guy gets older he will chow down on the greens with less persuasion. I think when they are young they want more protein so that they can grow big. My guy really likes blueberries and butternut squash mixed in his collard greens.

I've managed to get mario and wax worms I can't seem to find silk or Phoenix worms in the uk

Thats too bad. They are both very high quality feeders, super high in calcium. Be cautious about feeding the waxworms. They are a great treat but very high in fat. Depending on how much time and effort you want to invest you may want to try importing some silkworm eggs and starting a colony. Probably make enough money to pay for your initial investment selling them in your area.
