I know for snakes it's leave for a week, don't feed or handle just change water.

I assume a leopard gecko will be different? Obv no handling first week, but what about feeding? Just feed as normal?

Yes I'll have mealies for him So wasn't sure whether to give him crickets or wait a while?

How long can you leave the mealies in before changing them?

Its only really if he has refused his locusts that I leave mealies in with him just to make sure if he decides he is hungry he can have something to eat, but I would change them every 24hr so that you can ensure they are gut loaded.
As for offering crickets you might as well try and if he refuses at least he still has mealies in there so if he gets hungry he has something to eat
