Give him a light mist with water every couple of days, feed him every other day on 6 -8 pinhead crickets coated in reptical.
Keep him in a really small tub (considering he is so tiny, nothing bigger than 15cm by 15cm) so he can easily find his food, with nothing but a small hide in the tub. You can cut a semi-circle out of the side of a milk bottle top.
Once he is bigger you can add a water dish and some decorations.
He shouldn't need heating during the summer, but don't let him get too hot either. Aim for around 28 degrees.
Hope this helps.

I usually wait until the first shed, but by the looks of it he has already had that LOL!! Try him with some crickets now. Put maybe 3 in with him so they don't stress him out too much. When he has got some confidence with feeding in a week or so you can put a few more in at a time.

And yes, feed geckos in the evening, not during the day.

I put food in with all my geckos as soon as they shed and they generally start eating very quickly....

If the hatchie is having difficulty catching the crickets- pull one of its back legs off to make things easier for the youngster.
All the other info i would suggest has already been pointed out by Sparticus and Saz.
Good Luck
