You might want to empty whatever you keep in the hide box into some kind of container and raise the baby crikets as more food. Then just replace the material and put the hide box back in.

What you can try and has worked for me is to cut the egg laying tubes off the crickets before you feed them to your Geckos.
Put them in the refrigirator until they become numb and then cut off the tubes with a pair od scissors (I cut the jumping leggs off as well to make them easier to catch and to prevent injuries from the bristles). Very time consuming though.
