It may be a little easier if we could see how big the crickets are compared to the Leo... If you could get a pic of them in the tank together and feed once a day til they are older than feed every other day or every two days depending on the individual gecko when they are an adult. Honestly just about everyone has their own different way of doing things... as long as he/she is healthy (not to fat or thin) and you are using appropriately sized feeders it should be alright.

The general rule of thumb with feeders is nothing larger around (the circumference of the bug) than the space between your leo's eyes. This is to prevent possible choking. Also You could try super worms insted if you don't like the crickets. I hate the chirping and they stink imo. My leo (who is 10 mos old) usually eats 1-3 supers 3x a week. Also make sure you are regularly dusting your feeders with either an all in 1 suppliment or a good calcium and multi vitimin.
