Listen to what olsytn said about temperatures.
But you have way too much going on in that tank. Why are you feeding baby food and apple sauce and CGD? Really all babyfood and applesauce are are sugars and good tasting stuff, it's like offering candy, and really shouldn't be part of their normal diet. I have also never heard of crested bites, could you explain what they are or provide a link?
CGD is the best thing out there as far as I know, and you can even feed your little one only CGD, and no crickets, it's that good for them. While it is ok to feed them properly gutloaded and calcium dusted crickets, they cannot have a healthy diet just eating crickets (unlike most geckos), and will often ignore other foods if they are being fed crickets too much which is unhealthy. I would only feed 3-5 properly sized crickets maybe once a week, and offer CGD in a bowl the rest of the week.
You have to remember that your little guy is small, and so they don't eat a ton. If you spread out the CGD thin in the bowl then you might see some lick marks, if not you might not see any indication in the food.
If you have him on paper towels it is very easy to check for poops, if something is coming out it means something is going in and he is eating.
Hope this helps!
