If they overfeed they might regurgitate some crickets. They will usually stop eating before they get too full. But sometimes they regurg, the extra crix they ate. Keep track of how many you are feeding your gecko, so if it does regurg some crickets cut it back by about 3 crix everytime it throws up some crickets... untill you find a good amount. Then increase the amount after each shed. And if it starts throwing them up again, cut it back by 3 like you did before.

Crickets commonly carry worms, which can make your gecko sick. If you feed crickets it is not a bad idea to deworm w/ panacur every six months, or at least keep a close watch for lack of appetite or loose stools.
