HI

It looks like you could move her up to half inch crickets or close to three quarter inch crickets.

Oh ok....TY so much for answering....she even seems hungry after eating the 8-10 small ones...so I bet thats her problems...meals arent big enough....ty

yes...i agree...i think going to half inch would be best...but ur gecko looks a bit too small for a 3/4 inch...also...don't worry if the first day it seems like she poops out all of the cricket..its normal...but after about a week she'll adjust and be able to digest the whole cricket....it might not happen for u...but it happened to me all three times i had to convert to bigger crickets...hope this helps...
