Skinny leo needing a change

At the Hamburg show I picked up one, slightly too skinny paradox blizzard. He is only eating crickets right now, but I need to get him onto worms. Since he is skinny, I don't want to fast him and make him loose more weight. Should I wait until he is at a healthy weight to get him onto worms? Or is it safe now? (I don't have a scale right now, but will buy Wednesday, someone "lost" my scale)

Let him eat crickets and supply him with mealworms. Leave mealies in the tank at all times and give him a few crickets every night until he switches to mealworms. Variety is always best and I give my leos crickets once a week, though they eat mealworms 7 days a week.

BTW... Get it on panacur and keep it and it's housing away from the others for 60 days. You never know about wholesale geckos ;)
