For now, just make sure your crickets are gutloaded with greens, he'll get them that way. Some don't take to greens right away, but eventually 99% do. I had one that was 7 mo old before he finally ate them.
Have you tried mixing his prey in with the greens?
Keep offering daily and be very sparce on the mealworms, they are difficult for little ones to digest.
