The Rhacodactylus Cilatus, as well as it's neighbouring cousins are omnivores. Relying on a variety of: fallen fruits, Tree saps, Pollens, Nectar, Crickets, Roaches, Worms, etc.. They require the variety in their diet for the best results in growth and development. A crested geckos jaw structure is a lot weaker due to their diet. Due to this most breeders recommend a softer exo skeleton, and crickets and Dubai roaches perfectly match their needs.
Crickets being distributed throughout chain pet stores are constantly changing. The reptile hobby has now introduced the black field cricket, they are known to be harmful to your gecko if left in the terrarium over night, do not leave a feeding unattended using these. the common brown cricket is also readily available. The biggest difference between the two are their tendencies to jump. The blacks are a lot more active and the geckos have a dandy time chasing them down. Either of the two species of crickets are acceptable for the crested gecko.
Your crested should be on a weekly feeding routine, this can vary depending on the owner. Some people offer crickets once a week others twice a month. A healthy stable diet for both baby/young and or adult geckos are similar but this could be an accepted schedule:

- Crickets
- Meal worms
- Wax worms

They will eat any of these foods, but crickets are the most common. I feed my two meal worms. They are fast and cheap.
