Always small crickets?

[Leopardbreeder]

When is a Leopard Gecko old enough or big enough to be fed adult crickets. I ask this because I an pondering ordering crickets online, but, I do not want them to grow to full size and never be able to use them. I would probably order about 200-500 at a time. Can the cricket gutloading food be used as the calcium dust?




P.s. Check out the new avatar...tell me what you think

The general rule of thumb is not to feed your geckos anything larger than about 3/4 the size of their heads.

no. the cricket gutload is just high quality cricket food. you should still dust your crickets at least once a week or so with vitamin powder, and should have a calcium dish in the enclosure, with only calcium powder(no vitamins) at all times.

Also, how many leos do you have? Adult crickets will not last longer than about 2 weeks (possibly a little longer).
