My 1 year and 4 month old leopard gecko usually eats 20-30 crickets in weeks I feed him crickets only. Is that a good number of crickets? He eats medium. Should I increase or decrease the number of crickets? Also on the poop corner, I have a piece of paper so I can easily remove it and it doesn't get on the reptile carpet. Is it okay to use facial tissues as the paper on the poop spot?
How many crickets should my gecko eat in a week?

This seems appropriate for a gecko around a year old, a median of 25 per week seems like it would fit the needs of the gecko suitably as long as you're gut loading and dusting. do you give any variants to the diet, like mealworms or dubia roaches? that is also beneficial.
Yes I do. Previously me geckos staple was mealworms and I by a week and half worth of crickets and when I go to the store to get new crickets, I get him silkworms or hornworms for one feeding. I gave him superworms and butterworms before. I plan to buy Phoenix,calci, repti worms the next reptile expo I go to. Unfortunately, roaches are banned in Canada.
