As many as they will eat. Feed them in the evening, as they are nocturnal. Mine would typically eat 10-20 a night until he was full grown, then he ate less. They need a lot to eat while growing! Crickets should be no bigger than the space between their eyes. Make sure the crickets are gutloaded before using them as food, otherwise they are nearly useless. Dust mealworms with calcium (no D3) as their calcium/phosphorus ratio isn't good. Mealworms can also be fed to Leos. Remove them from the fridge for 24 hours so they can eat before using them as food.
See www.reptilerooms.com forums for great Leo care.

I keep mealworms in a bowl of calcium (no D3) all of the time and offer crickets every evening. You can feed as many as they'll eat. Make sure to use a vitamin supplement w/D3 once or twice a week.

Well, you should have meal worms available for them at all times. You crickets should be the size from the gecko's eye to the tip of their nose. Your's would need smalls for now and you should give them about 2 crickets each, 3 times a week.
