A basic rule of thumb is not to feed anything that is longer than the leo's head. So if you think the mealies are too big, cut them in half and feed them by hand. Normally you can get small crickets at the pet store. Or you can order small crickets and mealies online. I am not really sure how big two week old crickets and mealies are but if they are smaller than the leo's head, then you can feed them to the leo with no worries.
