Chinese Cave Gecko underweight

Hello! As the title says, ive had my CCG for about a month now. The pet store said they had him for roughly 6 months but no idea on his age. I always knew he seemed a little tiny but after weighing him today he weighed in at 6 grams.

I have tried tong feeding, leaving some mealworms and crickets in a shallow bowl, and even resorted to releasing a few tiny crickets into his enclosure hoping he would eat them. However he doesnt take to tong feeding and all the food has remained in his bowl. I havent seen any loose crickets around the enclosure but he just seems really tiny, anyone have any tips or advice?

Leo got attacked by cat, clear membrane of ear looks ruptured? Is that serious?

I just got home from the emergency vet and they didn’t say anything about this, I brought up some light bleeding in the ear but didn’t notice this till I got home, is there anything I should do?

The vet kept talking about how she didn’t know what to do and that this was her first leopard gecko etc.
