Wow, I really got to this forum late. I didn't read every word of every post but I'll just say I feed my leos exclusively mealworms that i have hand raised and gutloaded. (Once in a while I get them waxies) I prefer to gutload with Wheatgerm and fishfood because it is long lasting (doesn't mold quickly) and contains tons of the good stuff Leos need to be healthy. Chitin is not really a problem with feeding mealies as long as you have under tank heating to warm their bellies and aid digestion. I have also experiences faster growing, fatter leos with mealies than with Crickets. I don't think it's necessesary to offer food every day. In fact, i have found that can be stressful on a Leo that is on a winter fast and purposely not eating.
That's just my two cents.
Anyway, welcome to Samba. Great to have another Leo rescuer. I have rescued 4 leos myself and it's the most rewarding experience i have ever had with reptiles.
