Sounds good so far, do you dust the insects? and your only feeding the crickets as staple diet and others as treats once a week or so right?

Lose the fake plants and the water dish (plants for impaction water dish just won't help anything and you will get cricket suicides.) Other than that it sounds quite good.

The cage is a little small. I'm not fond of rubber plants. The sap can be harmful, especially for a plant muncher like a veiled. I'd also add horizontal walking surfaces such as 3/4" hemp or polyethylene rope. And I'd lose the water dish. I'd also use a dripper of at least 1 gal. capacity.
