Default geckos gone off locusts

does any 1 change their gecko diet much, when i first had my geckos it took them a while to settle in and they wernt etting much, so i put 6-8 locusts in every other day and always kept a few meilies in there every day, after a while the started feding on both for a good few weeks then i took the meilies out and just fed them the locusts whick went fine but recently like the last 2-3 times they havent been eatting many of the locusts so i take them out in the morning a put a few meilies back in and all were gone. not sure if its this batch of locusts cos there are slightly bigger than normal and really lively, but they just dont take any interest

any clues?????????

A varied diet is always best, as some leos do tend to go through phases of not particularly liking a food, and then a few weeks later gobble it up like it's going out of fashion.

You could try butterworms, calci-grubs or crickets as an alternative?

I try to have as many different foods available as possible, just in case they're having a fussy day!!!!
