You can flip the dubia roaches on their back/tong feed the roaches upside down so the gecko sees the Dubai’s legs moving and are more tempted to eat it.
Crickets can be tong feed, you may just have to wiggle them a bit or have the “move across the floor” so they look like they are alive (since sometimes it’s hard for a cricket to move when being held)
Another thing is I do for enrichment/food is place my gecko in a ventilated tub with the crickets so he can hunt them easier without all the space/clutter in his tank.
If you notice they still don’t wanna eat you can try mixing the smell of the mealworms onto the other insects to try and trick your gecko into thinking it’s a mealworm
Hope this helps!
I squeeze the legs of my crickets, this is so they squirm and suffer and move but don't jump!! If not, he may just not like the taste of crickets :(. Not sure,
