say i have a leo that prefers to eat crickets. should i cut back on puting crickets in, forcing her to eat the meal worms or supers? she doesn't care unless it's a cricket in front of her. is a 100% cricket diet ok if they're dusted?

In my opinion, a cricket diet is the best. Gut loaded and dusted of course. We have always fed crickets exclusively (well, ok, they get waxworms on the holidays.) for both nutritional and psychological reasons.

You can always do a web search for the nutritional information of prey items if you have any concerns and choose your insects appropriately from that.
