A 3 month old can take regular size mealworms, so you don't need to go with mini ones. I usually feed 10-15 mealworms a day for young geckos. You can increase as they get larger, or find bigger feeders like superworms or roaches.

This question has been asked several times but seems like no one uses the search function. Feed as many as he will eat.

There's no reason to feed it what ever it will eat. That mentality is also probably a big reason we have so many obese kids these days. Feed it the same amount every day. You can feed large mealworms to your gecko and 10 or so would be fine. I believe it is better for a gecko to gain weight slowly and consistently instead of as fast as it can. Just my opinion I guess.

I only said feed it what it will eat because it is a juvenile. I believe juveniles should eat a lot because they are growing. I limit my adults. Only had 1 of my geckos become obese and it was fixed easily by cutting down on feeding
