Currently i got a 4 inche leopard gecko eating a mix of mealies and crickets, mostly crickets. Ive been startin a small colony of mealies and was wondering if im better off with crickets as the main diet or can i go pure mealies?

I'm also trying to start a mealworm colony. How do you know when they've laid eggs? Is there some material I should provide for the mealies to lay on?
