Alright so its been a week now. I went on vacation for the long weekend, and left some small crickets in Sobe's cage for the few days. When I got home there was one alive, and the rest died behind the hide. I did not see any feces. I really can't tell if sobe is eating or not, and thus I can't tell if he is holding down food. He is still relatively active, and doesn't look malnourished or unhealthy, he just wont eat. Should I try force feeding, other foods, anything? anything at all?
This is pretty hard

A few days of no food won't hurt him. Clean out the crickets and resume to your normal routine.
Okee dokie sounds good I'll keep you posted. I'm not entirely sure that he has eaten since he regurgitated last week though...

You should've never left crickets in the cage over a span of a long weekend, it's a great way to get your leopard gecko to ingest parasites. I know you said there's no feces in the cage, but that's after the fact.
If you have to go away for a few days, try mealworms inside a mealworm-safe dish.
