Baby cresteds often prefer crickets to other foods. Also, they sometimes eat *very* small portions of their CGD/Fruit Baby Food/etc, such that it's hard to tell they've had any. For now, I'd say keep offering both, but also make sure your temperature & humidity are correct and that there are adequate hiding places in its enclosure. They like lots of leaf cover to hide in, and basically room temp is comfortable for them - 65 to 80 degrees F. Do not let them get over 80 F, and make sure they're getting misted enough to maintain them at fairly high humidity.

Beyond those things, there's not too much you can really do. If the crickets are disappearing, s/he is probably eating them and you therefore probably have nothing to worry about. You can dust the crickets in either the leopard gecko cricket dust or crested gecko diet in order to supplement them. The leo dust is good for balancing out the nutrition in the crickets, the CGD for getting them used to the smell/taste of CGD as food, and it of course adds nutrition as well.
