    'Power feeding' is the fastest way. Is he feeding well? Have you tried pinkies? Just feed him as much as he will take.

    waxworms and mealworms perfect for protein and fats. be careful with the big mealworms though you may have to cut off their heads. not sure if its the same with geckos but i know the big mealworms will actually eat a frog from the inside out.
    good luck
