I would switch to dubia roaches. IMO they're a better feeder than crickets as they have more protein and less chitin, so one dubia is equivalent to 2-3 crickets of the same length. They also can't jump, can't climb smooth surfaces, don't stink, don't make noise, and don't move too quickly so your lizard should be able to catch them more easily. They don't chew on gecko toes either, so if one escapes in the enclosure you don't have to worry about catching it.
If I'm planning for feeding in the evening I'll put some fresh fruit rind or cores in with the dubias that morning. Anything with sticky juice, like pear, mango, or apple, is ideal because that makes the dubias sticky so when they're dusted with the calcium/D3 powder they end up with a good coating of it.
