How many supers?

[Griffinej5]

I just got my gecko supers for the first time. Couldn't find someone in the store to get me out the mealies since it was almost closing time. She's 5-6 months old, and has a good fat tail. She can eat 10 or so mealies on days when she's really hungry. I gave the first super, she ran right out and ate it, and two more that I gave one at a time. I left one in the dish, so that would be 4 for today. I only had 5 mealies left yesterday, so maybe today she is taking extra, but how many might they take on a usual day? They don't seem to be getting out of my dish, but I'm worried about leaving too much of they do.

I only feed supers to geckos over 25g. I usually give one or two per meal and feed 1-3 times a week depending on how hefty the gecko is

She ate 4... I guess I'll see if she eats anything today. I don't have a scale, but she had no problem with the size.

She's been eating 2 a day since the first day when she had 4. I've only been giving 2 daily, and haven't tried more than that.

I don't like to power feed mine. I find they grow too fast for my comfort level or don't produce as well if they're overweight. I feed 2-3 times a week max and what I want to give them not what they'll eat. Most are a bit overweight anyhow...lol
