Multi-vitamins are not the first thing I would look to as a cause, but if there was a long time period where he was lacking in vitamins and your cricket gut-loading program was not adequate, then yes, a nutritional deficiency may be the problem.

Add multi-vitamins, but do not get too enthusiastic to add too much right away. If a person was sick in the hospital, doctors would not be quick to start giving them vitamins, but instead would be consider a good nutritional program. This is why I asked if you had a good gut load program for your crickets. If your crickets are eating well, then they are supplying a good amount of vitamins that your gecko needs.

Here is the BEST in cricket diets:
