There are good gutloads available - I had been using Susan Donoghue's
Walkabout Farms Gutload until she stopped doing the foods. Then along
came Allen Repashy's Insect Gutload - everything you need in one bag,
comes in all kinds of convenient sizes. As a breeder I don't have time
to make up a mix of stuff so this suits. I'm sure the Fluker's product
is fine. I use the same thing for both mealworms and crickets.

Why do you say this about oatmeal and mealworms?
What about Fluker's High-Calcium Cricket Feed, alfalfa hay-kob, and
dry oatmeal as a gutload for crickets? Long ago I crossed off
Tetramin Fish Flakes when one of two leopoard geckos (the male) housed
together died from severe gout. Though this may not have been the
cause of the gout, the Tetramin Fish Flakes are 48% protein and we all
know that more is not necessarily better. The female, Cha-cha-cha, is
still doing well.
Sometimes I add fresh carrots and collard greens to my cricket gutload.
