I agree, you want to make sure he has adequate temperatures to digest the food you are feeding. What kind of substrate is he on? How big of crickets and how many meal worms did you feed? Excess chitin can cause an impaction. Does he strain like he is trying to defecate, but can't? You can give some cat hairball laxative (Petromalt, laxatone, cat lax, etc) it him to help him pass the material if that is the case. I would give about 0.3 cc orally once a day until he goes. Keep up with the warm water soaks, and make sure your temps are correct.
