This probably means that they are not hydrated enough. Do you offer a water bowl in your enclosure? If you don't, I would. I know people say they get all they need from misting, but yours and some probably don't, why not offer a water bowl just as another option? (It also helps stabilize humidity in the tank a bit.)

Also, you might have a couple of very sick crested geckos soon, so it might be good to separate them, put them on paper towels, and monitor poops until you know that the vermiculite has passed.

Another comment on your plan to keep them from over breeding, adding another female probably won't take much stress off of the original female, and might even stress her more if the other female is more dominant. The best way to keep them from over breeding is to separate the male and the female and wait until the female stops laying eggs, give her a few months rest in her own tank, and then reintroduce them if you plan on breeding again.

Hope this helped.
