newbie question on feeding

[angelrain2010]

i have read here that many if not most ppl feed mealies to their leos rather than crickets. ive been feeding crickets , hate them like crazy. out of curiousity how many would a person feed their leo. mine is 6 mths old and weighs 22.8grams any suggestions as to how many initially i should feed and how often as well thank you ahead of time for your advice.

At 6 mos old your leo should be eating daily still imo @ 22 grams... at 7 mos you can consider going every other day with a snack on sunday to help quell the hunger. A regimented feeding of the same amount of mealies or superworms should be given at each feeding. At 7 mos old myt leo was going thru 10-15 mealies per feeding mon wed fri, and I'd give a treat of 4 on sun. However I switched to supers pretty fast and he gets 3-4 supers mon wed fri and still 4-5 mealies on sunday. If you're feeding daily I would think maybe 8 mealies or 1-2 supers should be a good place to start.

Ps welcome to the forum

depends on how old they are. at the age of yours, you could feed every day or every other day whatever is easiest. A good amount of mealworms if its everyother day, aboout 15 - 20.
10 ish if every day. he might not eat everyday, but its nice to give him the option.
