Dunno... I use virtually the same components as you did & mine take right to it within minutes. I grind mine down with a food processor & freeze a bunch of ice cube trays full of it.

Do you have a dry gutload powder in there with them of some sort that they might prefer to the gutload you made? Good question... good luck!

that's exactly what I did, used the food proseser and froze in ice cube trays, there is nothing else with them just the gut load....

my crickets dont always eat my gutload either. I put in Kale, Romaine, mango, apples, oranges, carrots and they have not touched it today. I notice that they will sometimes gorge themselves and then not eat so much the next time. My cham kinda went on a cricket strike anyways and they are getting big and to the point of making alot of noise and I cannot stand it! I have never had crickets for this long! I am about to let them go out in the woods somewhere!

I have had issues with my criclets not eating their gut load too so i switched what i was trying to feed em to some of those orange cubes that you buy for em and when they didnot eat that either i just decided they were retarded and went to a diffrent pet store to buy em and the new crickets took right to eating... my guess is the ones that i had not eating were just retarded do to inbreeding or something lol cause the other ones are doing fine
