How to get my crested gecko to eat crickets if he prefers Repashy?

Question

Hello. I can’t get my baby crested gecko to even be interested in taking a cricket. Crickets are the right size the breeder feed and also the breeder said that this gecko was eating crickets and would hunt them. I feed Repashy. Does that supplement crickets too? My first crested gecko Oakley, did this also. But after about 3-4 weeks of trying Oakley did eat crickets. Any suggestions on how to get my new crested gecko, aspen, to eat crickets? He is really good eater with his Repashy. (three legs). Pet's info: Reptile | Gecko | Male | unneutered | 11 days old

Check the temperature in his enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. Offer prey about 2 hours after the heat lamp turns on in the morning. Make sure he is well hydrated by soaking or misting him regularly. It may be a preference. If he is eating the Repashy CGD regularly, don't worry too much about him eating crickets or not.
