Cricket Size question

[capnllama922]

Hi,
I got my Leopard Gecko last May, so I'm assuming he's about 10 months old, I've been buying the small crickets from ***** but they seem to small, how do I know what size crickets to feed him?

Thanks

General rule of thumb is go by the distance between the geckos eyes, thats the size cricket you should get but I think most people go larger. \If you think they are small then get the next size up.

In reality though, if the gecko is around ten grams, it should be roughly big enough to take down a few of *****'s large cricket's. Pinhead crickets are great for when they're very young (first month or so) but they'll have no problem with a few of the smaller large crickets. I'd say wait until they pass ten grams or about 1.5 months (whichever comes last just to be on the safe side).
