how often do you feed your geckos?

im curious as to how often you guys feed your leos.
ive read many different things where some people feed them every day and others feed them twice a week. i dont want my geckos to be hungry, although i can normally tell. but i thought id get other experienced gecko owners opinions :main_yes: please let me know what you guys do, for adults juvies and hatchlings. thank you :main_thumbsup:

In a way I feed my geckos everyday. I leave a bowl with mealworms and calcium dust in there at all times so if they do get hungry, they can grab a snack! I also feed them dubia roaches once or twice a week. I plan to up that to three to four times a week when they breed some more. For the adults I add to their food bowls as needed, usually every other day or two. For the hatchlings, I make sure they have food all the time. I usually have to add to their bowls everyday. I feed them everyday until they are about 25 grams and then I feed every other day. I am sure that you will get a lot of different answers, but that is what I do!

hatchlings and juvies up to about 30-40 grams get fed every day
Adults every other day during breeding season and every third day not during breeding season. Some females I can tell are really hungry after laying and I feed them every day until they seem less interested.
During the winter they don't eat so often. THis past winter, especially since I was going out of the country for 10 days I let those who were brumating go without food and about 3/4 of my leos didn't eat for about 6 weeks.

i fed my first leo (my male dozer) everie daie for 7 months then i started to feed him everie other daie but just added one more cricket,meal worm,wax worm wen i fed him..so juvies and babies everie daie and adults and becoming adults everie other daie (this is my opinion)

yeah the babies eat a lot every day and then it tapers off. Every other day or 2 for our adult works well.

My Bells are fed every other day (meal worms) while my Sunglows are feed daily (crickets). I will feed my Sunglows as much as they can eat. Eventually, I will get them all on one food source. Otherwise, right now, my goal is to fatten them up and I will continue to feed as long as they are willing to eat.

My Sunglow females will eat at least 6 large crickets during one feeding while the male Sunglow will eat at least 8 large crickets. Again, as long as they want to eat, i will feed. There really is no way that you can overfeed the leos.
