Hello Peter,
I would consider supplementing your geckos' diet with some other food items
such as occasional pinkie mice, superworms, waxworms, etc. I assume that
you are "gut-loading" your crickets but a little variety may stimulate them
to eat more and provide more nutrition. Also, I believe that your 60F temp
is a little too cool for Eublepharis that are being fed on a regular basis.
I would try to add a little heat at night to keep the temps more in the 70F
range. Others may have some input.
