I'm new to keeping Leopard Geckos.And I was wondering if feeding my full grown Leopard Gecko as many half-inch crickets as he can eat in 10-15 mins would be okay? I got him last week at a show and he just ate 7 mealworms and 7 crickets. He's bit under-weight mabey 10-15 grams. Sorry for asking this on your post.

Thanks.

i feed all mine superworms. every other day. max three supers each. three of my geckos will put down three supers each every once in a while. on average they will all eat two. i'll also give them an occasional wax worm as a treat when i have them.

Growing geckos have gigantic appetites compared to adults.
