My gecko used to eat crickets like it was her life. A few months ago she stopped eating for awhile and I couldn't figure out why. I finally got her to eat again but with mealworms. Ever since then she will not eat anything else. I know some people do that with their leos, but I thought it wasn't healthy? Is there something that I can give the mealworms to make sure she is getting the right nutrients? I dust the mealworms now with calcium dust and occasionally multivitamins. another question is how do you gutload the mealworms or even can you? I just want to make sure she gets what she needs.
mealworms a problem?

I think mealworms are fine, it's just crickets are more nutritional and contain more moisture. Purchasing cricket gutload as mealworm bedding works fine, and mixing up the types of vegetables you provide for moisture should keep them nice and healthy, and also give your gecko nutrients. Just keep dusting and gutloading and you should be fine.

You can feed super worms or roaches also.
