Are you dusting the crickets with rep-cal? This is critical! EVERY DAY!!! Also, there is something called Lepard Gecko Dust by t-rex that's good to use once or twice a week. Crickets alone is not enough. They need to be gut loaded and dusted. If you have not been dusting, go out and by rep-cal right away and pat some on its face so it will lick it off. Make sure to get some calcium in her. That's probably why she is walking funny.
A moist hide is more important when they are young then when they are older and when they are about to shed. Rather than a traditional moist hide, I have some broken clay pots around and I wet them down every now and then to release moisure, especially when they look like they are going to shed. I also have a large water dish. They come from dry climates, so you want to keep their habitat on the dry side. Since yours are young, a hide might be better so moist spagnum moss is good if you are going for a natural look or just moist paper towel will do if not.
