Question White lined gecko eating pattern

Hi guys,
I am new to reptile keeping and have purchased a white lined gecko about a month ago! Since that time i have wasted about 2 tubs of crickets as my gecko only seems to eat 3 crickets every other day. I buy them at either medium size or 3rd stage so not too large but i feed them up. but there always smaller than between his eyes
Has anyone ever had this and is it normal?
I keep the temp at 30 degrees c at day and 21 at night .
But saying all this his mood is always the same and is very active.
Any help would be great

What is the humidity? Mine go through phases of ravenous hunger and then not really being interested in food for a couple of weeks or so. I attribute it to the weather fronts moving in, and the change in the seasons. Do you know if your white lined is wild caught or captive bred?
If its wild caught, (which is most likely) you can keep it on paper towel substrate so you can find and bring in a fecal sample to test for parasites. The crazy thing is, yes, treating them can be stressful for them, but I've had a very easy time medicating/treating these guys because they readily gape.

Do you have pics of your guy?

Default Feeding pattern of white lined

I usually manage to keep the humidity to between 65-70% but sometimes it can drop to 55 what with the pants British weather, and I have a coconut husk substrate which stays moist daily, I am assuming it's a CB but the pet store that I bought it from did no say anything about that! Nor did they know how old it is .


here are a few pics i have managed to sort out hope you like !!
