Self-sustaining spider prey?

I have a small jumping spider waiting to move into here. She’s roughly 1cm big rn, and is getting firebrats, moths and fruit flies right now. When I move her in there I want her to be able to be as independent as possible. Two or three subadult crickets are in the tank as of now, but I’m hoping they don’t breed (failed experiment). I heard they could harm the spider, so I’m waiting until shes done with her next molt to put her in with them.

Are there any prey animals that I could put in the tank, that can keep a stable population?

Isopods and springtails are in there also, but I heard isopods don’t really get eaten, and spring tails are too small. A couple involuntary fungus gnats as well, she’ll keep those in check probably.

Thanks!
