Unhappy Crested Gecko help

Noticed that my some of my crested geckos "droppings" resemble crickets lately, is she just having a hard time digesting them? Or is there something else wrong? Right now she is in a viv thats a little small for her, could that be what is causing this? (Don't worry I am building her a new viv as we speak). I just want to make sure she is okay.

sounds like she is not digesting them properly.i dont think its because the viv is too small its probably because shes not warm enough to digest.

what temps do you have her at?
it would usually be either low temps [although as we know cresties dont like ambient temps above 80] or it could be the crix are just too big but thats less likely if shes eating them.

do you feed crestie formula aswell? might be worth lettin her just have that for a few days and see how it is to ake sure its not her own body working less than efficently due to possible illness but again its prolly not that.

ours ar eok at the minute but was thinking i mar when it gets a little coller just rig a small spot light on a fraction of the viv so theres a small hot spot without really affecting air temps.

Her temps have been inconsistent because of some heating issues here, but I have been fixing it, and now her temps are at the low 80s and she is looking a lot better. For the crested gecko formula she will not go near that stuff...she is picky, but I love her anyway. I am going to try to give her some crickets today since the heating has been fixed.

yeah keep and eye on the temps as a sudden drop and kept at that temp could cause problems digesting wise.
