if you live in the UK theres a website that sell's silkworms egg's and worms n stuff in good bundle packs. like £10 (about $15) for around 100 egg's plus the food to feed them with, and they also sell silkworm breeding packs. from what i read they look very easy to breed, but takes a month or two to breed a batch, but if you stick at it then it could be worth the wait. the problem with your mealworm impaction is most likely a rare sight, anything your gecko eats can cause impaction, but the likelyhood is much much less than the substrate. i myself have the same problem with your gecko, he wont eat a cricket to save his life, and he also doesnt like mealworms. in his total time i've had him he's eaten about 30 crickets and a small handful of mealworms and waxworms. ask your local pet shops about breeders for silkworms, sadly there isnt anywhere even close to where i live that supplies silkworms, only the large ones which are the same size as grasshoppers, and there as big s my gecko!
hope any of this helps
