just feed him crickets/mealworms, and maybe an occasional pinkie.

Leaving a bowl of mealworms in the tank at all times is a great way to put weight on your leo, assuming he'll eat out of a bowl.

First you can check out my website about the gut-loads I have there. There are 3, and all work wonders!

To put weight on your leo, make sure all your feeders are gut-load and dusted.
Feed your leo crickets, super worms, and an ocassional wax worm, but only as a treat. If you want instead of wax worms, try feeding butter worms (trevo worms I think the are also called) Keep your warm end of the tank at 88 degrees and make sure you have everything provided for your leo.

Everything should be fine.
