I feed Gaia every 2nd day and she usually eats a few Superworms and then like 6-10 Mealworms. Sometimes I give her Crickets but not often because I hate them, and she gets Silkworms and Butterworms when I can get ahold of them.
2 Crickets every couple days is definitely not enough, especially for your big fella! That's probably why his tail looks like it's thinning to me.
Gaia eats that much and when it's feeding time she gets SUPER predatory and starts trying to get to the worms through the glass of the tank when I'm getting them ready, LOL. She has bitten me a couple of times because she was hungry and thought my finger was a worm.
I usually just give her as many as she wants.

Re: Help identify my leo
I got a tub of superworms, but he refuses to eat them! He also has a hard time catching the crickets. But any ideas on how to switch him to worms?

Not sure how to switch him to Superworms, just keep offering them, and make sure they are properly gutloaded.
As for the calcium thing... I dust my feeders every time with the Calcium with D3 except for once a week I use a Multivitamin instead and dust them with that. Then I leave a dish of plain calcium (no D3) in her tank at all times.

It's not a huge deal for Male Leos to have it in their tanks unless they are still growing, but if you don't know for 100% sure it's Male I would put it in. It's just an issue for growing Leos and Females as a precautionary measure incase they decide to lay eggs.

From my understanding, calcium WITHOUT D3 is what should be given to leos, as they get plenty of D3 from their prey items, and they can overdose on the vitamin. How long have you had your Leo?
