Gecko only eats Meal worms

[Loki The Leo]

My 5 month gecko needs to grow, and he eats usually 5 meal worms. When we got him, he would only eat 1-2 crickets. Now he eats a lot, but only meal worms, not crickets. Is this OK?

And, sometimes when he doesn't eat, I hand feed him, but usually I put the meal worms in a bowl, and the crickets are put in front of his hides. Lately I've noticed that he will lick the crickets, but he never bites them. When he eats meal worms, he licks it then takes bites of it. Usually 1 meal worm is equal to 3 bites.

Just like little kids, they eat what they'll eat. Offer other choices periodically so he has the opportunity to expand his horizons.

Thanks, I guess meal worms are easier to maintain, anyways.
