What kind of enclosure do you have for your geckos. A tank or a mesh kind of enclosure?.

I have a tank for mine, and I use a newspaper papertowel substrate (bottom of the tank covering), that my reptile vet. had told me to use way back, because it can cut down on the parasites that they can possible get, and also they won't be injesting sand when they dive for crickets.

You need to have one end of the tank at 80%, and the other end of the tank in the low seventys, that way they can thermoregulate there own body temperture "meaning if they get to hot they can go to the cool end and if to cool they can go to the worm end". You will need to put in some more small crickets, because two or three isn't enough for both of them. You will need to get some straeight calcium at like petsmart etc., with nothing else. It will have a green lable on it. They need a constant supply of calcium for there growing bones, so they don't get brittle bone diease. Brittle bone diease is when a gecko doesn't get enough calcium and as they grow, there bones can get rubbery. Don't panic, you will do a good job.

Mealworms are also good for them to eat. Get a container that your geckos can get into, but it won't be easy for the mealworms to climb out of.

How to tell how many crickets are still in the tank or how many have been eaten?, you will have to move things around in the tank to look for the crickets and count them.

Write some more as to what you have in the tank for them.
