ummmm????.........Wha??........Wait.....??? Huh?.......
did you ever hear of periods & commas?
Crickets blow up???? Well, are there little cricket legs and heads laying around the cage and goo stuck to the walls? Are there little craters in the substrate where they were sitting?
no, I don't know what you mean.

Yes, please try using some punctuation if you ask another question. You come off as not mature enough to keep a reptile responsibly. That said, I'll answer these basic questions that you should have researched before you ended up with a Gecko.
They're tails are where they store their fat reserves, and it is normal for them to be fat. If they are not, then they aren't healthy. But obviously a one month old Gecko will need a little time to build up fat reserves.
If you put 15 or 20 crickets in the tank and left for 2 days, then how do you know they weren't all eaten? They could have escaped, but many lizards will gorge on crickets and overeat, Geckos included....especially if you leave them and put too much food in there. Please study up so you don't kill the animal. It's a reptile. It won't starve to death in 2 days if you only leave a couple of crickets, but you CAN kill it my putting too much food in there and having it overeat and get an impaction in it's intestines!
