Question

Would feeding my Leopard Gecko as many half-inch crickets as he can it in 10-15 minutes every other day be too much? He has a constant supply of mealworms in a clear bowl in his cage at all times.He's a little bit underweight say about 10-15 grams, Give or take a few?

From what I can tell, most leos stop eating when they've had enough, especially with something like crickets that need to be chased and chewed up. :laugh: If he's underweight I can't think why you couldn't feed him all he wants, unless he's one of those that just gorges and then spits up the extra. :tongue3:

Is 10-15 grams his weight or how much he needs to put on? How old is he?

 

[Gabrial]

I was told he's 4-5 years old,and he weighs about 37 grams give or take a few.

An adult may not actually *eat* that often, especially with free-choice mealworms on hand, but there's no harm trying.

Has he gained or lost weight since you got him, or is he the same?

 

[Gabrial]

I got him last week and he hasn't eaten until today.So he did lose one gram,but he ate 7 crickets and 7 mealworms today. =)

Well that's good, he's gotten settled in. I'd just feed him all he'll eat if I were you - do you have access to feeder roaches or superworms?
And do you have any pictures of him? He sounds pretty small.
