Hi Bonnie,
Welcome! I am new to bd's, too. Have other herps but just got Darwin in April. He was just shy of 2 months and I was feeding him 1/4" crickets (do you know the whole length of feeder no longer than width of head rule?) and he would easily eat 30-50/day! I'd been warned! My cham, Luna, eats much less and I was used to her weird pigouts and fasts! lol!
Anyway, I also feed him 1/2"-3/4" silkworms, which I put on top of his salad for breakfast. he will eat 10-15 and then he gets his dusted crickets for "lunch". He is now about 4 1/2 months so is eating larger crickets (he has grown nearly 3 inches in 2 months)and does not eat quite as many - probably 20, but those silkies add up. Btw, they are naturally high in calcium.
here's a pic - can't wait to see yours!
