Hopefully this will help some people! I have put together a list of foods that can be fed and are good to feed but remember there is ALOT more foods that can be fed, this is just a quick list:

Veggies/salads:

Cucumber
Zuchini/courgette (sp?)
Lettuce (No iceberg)
Asparagus
Egg plant
Avacado (skin and pip is toxic)

Dandelion leaves
Cabbage
Swede
Spring greens
Turnip
Sweet potatoe (Nobody is 100% certain on this, I personally have fed it without problem however others say its dangerous )
Spinach
Insects (NOTE: Never feed wild insects as these are likely to contain parasites):
Crickets
Locusts
Cockroaches
Meal worms
Wax worms (always supervise feeding these and kill them before feeding)
Snails (GALS/Giant African Land Snails are best)
Darkling beetles
Cooked Meats (NOTE: all foods can/should be fed with bones):
Beef
Pork
Lamb
Chicken
Turkey
Cod
Haddock
Tuna
Sardines (canned, in tomato juice)
Other:
Kidney beans (cooked)
Bamboo
Wheat grass/cat grass
Broad beans (cooked)
Aduki beans (cooked)
Garlic
Rolled oats (NOT INSTANT)
Bran flakes
Natural/live yoghurt
Cottage cheese
Boiled/scrambled eggs
Wholemeal bread (dried)
Pasta (cooked or dry)
Rice (boiled)
Plain Couscous (dry or cooked)
Baby foods can also be fed but make sure there is only safe veggies and meats in the ingredients
Cheese (no blue cheese)
Protein foods:
Boiled/[extremely] fresh raw beef
Boiled chicken
Boiled lamb
Brown boiled rice
Meal worms
Cockroaches (dubia roaches are a great energy and protein source and very easy to breed)
Tuna (cooked, I usually buy the tinned stuff in water)
Sardines (Cooked, I usually buy the tinned stuff in tomato juice and feed whole)
Applaws cat food
NatureDiet© Dog tray food (I use lamb, vegetables and rice)
Raw rabbit rib bones
Scrambled eggs
Dangerous Foods (Thank you Bigsis7!!)
Chocolate
Orange Juice
Raw Beans
Raw Brussels Sprouts
Raw Red Cabbage
Raw Onions
Raw Artichokes
Peanuts
Sweet Potato
Green Bananas
Green Potato Skin and Potato Eyes
Rhubarb
Blue Cheese
Licorice
Dried Corn
Avocado Skin, Pit, Rind, Leaves and Fruit Adjacent to the Pit (the fruit portion is safe, but high in fat)
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!: Factory farmed poultry (chicken, rabbit, turkey, game hen etc) has been linked to Cancer in Rats and Mice. Nobody is quite certain about it but I personally don't want to take the risk. Have a drive around for farmers that hatch their own poultry - they are usually happy to give you fresh, chemical free surplus cockrel birds. I do not use Poultry-flavoured rodent food, either, as they usually contain at least derivatives (sp?) of poultry.
Please feel free to add anything else!
