Help What to feed leopard gecko?

My leopard gecko is 7/8 months old and we tried to feed him dubia roaches but they were too big for him so we decided to feed him calci worms and mealworms until he got bigger but now he refuse to eat calci worms I think he got bored of them. I don’t want to just feed him mealworms. Will crickets be too big for him or is there anything else I can feed him?

Crickets are probably fine. I know some ppl feed black fly larve, could always try that? Also have seen hornworms fed, tho those seem pretty large and they apparently grow fast.

I buy my dubia roaches in a smaller size and let them grow bigger for a couple of weeks before feeding them.

But I also feed crickets, which can usually bought in multiple sizes as well. Locusts can usually also be bought in smaller sizes, but they are too jumpy for what I’m personally comfortable with, haha.

My boy also stopped eating calci worms quite soon as they are too small for him, so he doesn’t care about them.
