Feeding leopard gecko?

Um, hello. :)

I will be getting a leopard gecko in a the week or so, and I just have a few questions. Sorry if these are repetitive!

How many crickets should baby leo's be fed a day, and when do you know when to increase the amount? How many on average does a full sized leo eat?

I've also heard so much about dusting and supplements and what not. If you have a calcium dish in the tank, should you still dust the crickets with calcium powder? If so how often should you dust them with calcium and vitamin powder?
I've heard for calcium, every day, and for vitamin, 2-3 times a week.

I hope that made sense.

I'd really appreciate any help. Thank you so much! :)

Baby Leopard Geckos should get fed 4-5 food items a day. Adults should be fed 5-7 food items every day but some people may feed more, some people feed less. Adults don't have to be fed every single day, though. You should dust the food with calcium d3 at least once a week. If you have vitamins once a week is good.

What Taquiq said and also make sure to never feed you gecko something that is wider then the space between the geckos eyes.
