The 1.75 ounce bottle lasts my single adult crested about 6 months, feeding every 3 days, so that's approximately 10 times/month, 6 months * 10 = 60 servings from 1.75 ounces. Extrapolating from those numbers, 4 pounds would make roughly 2200 servings, or enough to maintain my feeding schedule for 37 adult cresteds for 6 months. If you feed every other day rather than every third, you could maintain 24 geckos for that timeframe. Your mileage may vary; every animal is different, and these numbers are to be taken as an example only, especially given that I may have made an error in calculation somewhere; I didn't double check to be sure.
Bottom line though, 4 pounds of CGD powder is going to go "stale" and lose it's nutritive value due to oxidation before you run out unless you have a very large number of geckos.
