As long as he's an adult he should be fine if you feed him the day you leave and the day you come back. Assuming you have a few hides in there that the crickets can't get to, you could throw in a few extra. Just make sure the leo can hide from the crickets without being bothered. Moisture is also very important. Make sure you leave a lot of water in the cage for him, and of course the calcium.
