Have you tried him on a different diet?

Brown crickets or banded ones might be better, and you could try small lobster roaches.

Also try him on fruit puree (avoiding citrus fruits) and maybe get some MRP...

Are you supplementing the crickets with anything?

Have you tried different flavours of fruit? Mango is always relished by mine.

Try House crickets too, black crickets have a funny taste to them that many lizards don't actually like.
