heres my opnion on feeding leopard geckos. the rule of thumb is dont feed leopard geckos anything bigger than the size between their eyes . by the looks of the picture im thinking large are still big but its hard to tell. as far as mealworms i wouldnt even feed them to my leopard gecko because of the hard outter skeleton its hard for them to digest,causes impaction, i actually had mine pass away from that it was to hard to catch it in time. but i think if you feed hime around 25 crickets a day he will be okay hope i helped let me know if you have anymore questions or if i didnt answer all of them

im so stuck on this guy i sware =/..im under the impression tht as he gets older i shud start feeding him every other day ... and thats why i moved to large crickets ...right now i fed him about 5-6 small crickets and 2 large ones.. dont thnk ill feed him at all tomorow... ahh its so easy when there babies jus feed them everyday and thats tht ..but now its hard to tell when hes hungry and stuff so iunno ...

i think your doing the right thing, sorry i put 25 crickets a day i must of been looking at my bearded dragon when i typed that lol.. but around 10 crickets a day every other day sounds okay as long as hes older now
