typically the smell and taste of the diet will be enough incentive to get the geckos to eat it. It may be necessary to 'introduce' them to the diet by dabbing a bit of it on their nose or side of the mouth so they can lick it off. Usually after they taste it they will eat it willingly after that.
Sometimes mixing it with fruit baby food helps to get them to eat the diet, just reduce the amount of baby food added till you are left with just pure CGD. Crickets can still be offered once in awhile as a treat but in my experience, once they are eating the diet regularly, it isn't necessary to give anything else. I do like to offer some small superworms, silkworms, butterworms and crickets once in awhile just to give the geckos something different.
