All three of those things are ok. Mine LOVE cantaloupe.

All three of those are fine and very crab safe. 
Blueberries are a huge hit in my 'tats, but we don't buy exotic fruits like pineapple or cantaloupe so my poor babies have never tried it, but I'm sure they'll love it. Good luck!

Oh man... I would have one boring cupboard/fridge if that is what I was limited too. 
The majority of what I eat are raw fruits and veggies.
Lunch and snack while at work today:
Banana
Yali
1/2 Pomegrante
Veggie salad without lettuce topped with Balsamic vinaigrette.
(Call me crazy, I prefer salad of just veggies and legumes and no lettuce, baby spinach, dandelion, etc etc.)
That's what happens when you have food allergies and are picky eaters. lol

More help...
Blueberries
My crabs love blueberries, especially in a recipe. Here's one:
Sweet Wheat Hermie Treat
Ingredients: 2 blueberries, cut into quarters, 1 tsp of uncooked oats, 1 tsp of honey, 2 peices of shredded wheat cereal, crumbled, and powdered cuttlebone.
Mix it all together and SERVE! (My crabbies love this, especially my smallest)
Cantaloupe
Maybe you could try mixing it with some other things and then crushing the seeds on top, because I've noticed my crabs don't like whole seeds very much but they love crushed things.
Pineapple
Give them small pieces mixed with flaxseed and maybe other fruit. Crabs love tropical fruit for some reason...
