Weird powdered stool

Hello,
I am new here. I often read your questions and answers to help. However, i have not found an answer to my question. Me leopard gecko, Cheetos, has been having weird stools for the past week. It's like there in no coating to hold it all together. That as soon as the stool dries, it crumbles into powder. My son told me that he found a black cricket in the house and put it in the terrarium. So i have a reason to believe this could be the reason. How long should i wait to see if his stools return to normal?
Cheetos is about 5 months old and nothing else changed. He eats well, he's playfull, he's curious.
We really want to make sure he is not in danger or dying...😪

I don't think it's anything to worry about. Maybe he's not putting out as much liquid as usual. Also, if there are crickets in the enclosure, they often eat the poop and it gets powdery like that. This is not a problem either.

Welcome to Geckos Unlimited, SabBrunet ~
WithOUT knowing more, I ask this.

Does your leo Cheetos have access to a 4-8 ounce bowl of cool fresh water that you change several times weekly or more often? That provides drinking water to ensure Cheetos does not get constipated. That filled dish also increases enclosure humidity.
