Leo Feeding Question

My leopard gecko, Sol, has stopped eating mealworms and is only going after crickets. Maybe its the movement but she will completely ignore the mealworms. As soon as I put some crickets in there, she's all excited, chasing them around the tank. Should I just continue to feed her crickets on a daily basis (I was feeding her mealworms daily) or should I try something else?

mine have done this a couple of times. just keep feeding crickets and try mealworms again in a week or so. it took mine about a month to start eating them again.

Should I be feeding crickets daily? If so, how many and should I dust them each time or only 2-3 times a week?

Dust every time
as for how often, it depends on how old they are. Juveniles will eat daily (mine east 5-6 crickets plus 3-4 meal worms everyday). Adults every 2-3 days should be fine
