Coccidia are single celled organisms that infect the intestine. They are microscopic parasites detectable on routine fecal tests in the same way that worms are but coccidia are not worms and they are not visible to the naked eye. Coccidia infection causes a watery diarrhea which is sometimes bloody and can even be a life-threatening problem to an especially young or small pet. the most common way for a host to get this is through fecal matter in the ground, but with reptiles the chances are greater from its food source.

You didnt do anything wrong. The best thing to do is to make sure cages are always clean, and clean the cricket tank regulary...I'm glad you found out what was wrong and gettin meds for it.
