crickets vs. mealworms

is one of the two better to feed to geckos or are they the same?

The Gecko Manual says mealworms are preferred, but mine do just fine on crickets. Do a search on-line and see what the little devils like the best too.

my one leo is on all crickets, he won't touch the worms, the other one is on 75% crickets and 25% worms and she seems to be happy ...

I have had leo's that ate mostly worms, and leo's that ate mostly crickets. All have been healthy. As long as I used supplement and gutloaded well. I prefer worm eating leo's tho, cuz I hate dealing with crix!

I have a couple that will only eat mealworms and the rest are on about a 50 50 diet of meal/crickets

Both of them are good feeders if they are properly gutloaded.

I have fed my gecko mealworms mainly and some crickets and she seems healthy. But I was mainly wondering if one was more nutritional than the other
