definately have him checked for parasites! it is very common for igs to have pinworms (among other things) and that could be a reason for his thinness despite his huge appetite .... (iZ had worms and it was simply amazing how fast he grew, once the parasites were gotten rid of!)
igs don't usually eat crickets .... check out the above posts on ig diets for suggestions and since your ig is still young and growing, it wouldn't hurt to have fresh food out for him all day long to encourage him to eat frequently ....
sounds like he's found himself a good home!
good luck and best wishes!
