Is my leopard gecko eating to much? Please help!

[GeckoJake]

Hi. I just got a baby leopard gecko and he ate 7 crickets, 5 mealworms, and 3 waxworms in one feeding. Is he going to throw this up? He even wanted more after that! I almost fed him too much so I wouldn't have food for my fire belly toad! He seemed to be hogging all the food from my other baby. Is this a problem? They are about 1 month old. Very young. The other baby only got about 4 crickets for the whole feeding while the other got much more than twice that amount in everything!

If it doesnt throw up, then it can eat what it wants. Its growing.
Generally if they throw up a meal, they know not to eat so much the next time. Just use your discretion.

That is a problem. If one is hogging all the food for itself you're going to have them growing at different rates, and the one not getting much food may end up with nutrition problems. If you can, separate them both to allow feeding of each one separately.

At that age I would feed them as much as they want leave lots of crickets and mealies in so that both geckos have enough to eat until there full.
