My little crestie didn't seem to eat very much for the first week or two after I brought her home. I think the stress of moving to a new environment killed her appetite. After she settled in she started eating no problem. You definitely can't miss the poops even if you're not sure if the repashy has been licked at all.
Cresties don't *need* insects in their diet as long as they have a high quality paste food like repashy. You can try other feeders if you want but don't worry about it too much if she's not interested in live meals.
You could try putting the food dish up higher or behind some cover. I leave mine out on the ground in the open and I can usually see lick marks in it in the morning so not sure it matters that much where the food is located.
