I still buy him little bitty crickets (1/4") and let him have 5 a night bc they are tiny and soft, easy to digest. He doesn't always eat them all, but he poops daily and is growing steadily. I gave him 2 small 1/2" crickets this week and he did well. Just watch his belly. He shouldn't look sunken in on the sides, just nicely full. I'll send you some pictures of mine when they wake up this evening.

Retf's look slender when they stretch out and pleasantly full when they curl up to sleep.

They don't soak much. They prefer to absorb through misting. I keep my tank humidity between 70-80 %, and my heat around 76-78. There is both a waterfall in mine and I still mist 2x/day if no heat lamp on, and 3x/day when the infared lamp is on.
Thanks for the help, I'll keep an eye on how he's pooing and his belly
