How much to feed?

[phoneguy]

About 2 weeks ago I bought my first juvenile leopard gecko. I have had 2 other Leos but they were almost fully grown when I got them. The new addition is about 24 grams give or take a few because I have a junky scale. I have been giving her 20 medium meal worms a night and she has been eating every last one every night. Can you over feed a juvenile? I just don't want to give her too much, I also want to be sure I'm giving her enough. Any thoughts?

I don't think you need to worry about feeding too much unless the gecko regurgitates the food. If she is keeping it down then she should be okay.

Yea I worry about this too lol.
But they will be okay when they are babies feed as much as they want

Even though nothing but a strange poop and a happy leo came of it, I still think this has turned me off to feeding a leo (especially a baby) as much as it wants. As I understand it's fine when they eat a lot but I cut my little one off as soon as the belly starts to bulge. I never want that worry again. Maybe I was just dumb. lol
