HOW MANY 1/4 INCH CRICKETS SHOULD I FEED A 5 " BABY DRAGON? HE EATS QUITE WELL(EVEN LIKES HIS GREENS!)BUT I DONT KNOW THE MAX TO FEED HIM,SO AS TO NOT HURT HIM.RIGHT NOW I GIVE HIM 3 IN MORNING AND 2 AT NIGHT 2 HOURS BEFORE HE SLEEPS

Don't restrict his food. Give him all he will eat in 15-20 minutes 2 - 3 times a day regardless of how many that is.

when there young feeding gets expensive, but its worth it in the long run. 5 crickets a day is like us eating a piece of bread all day and nothing else.

My 7" lady eats twice a daily, i keep dumping crickets into my feeding cage for about 10 minutes, then I get bored, and when she stops eating for a minute or 2, I snatch her up, and give her greens in her cage
I buy 1000 crickets every 3 weeks for my 2 dragons 8inch male and 7inch female, about 20-30 each a day, some days more like 30-50, depends how good of a job they do hunting, sometimes they r nobs and just snap at the ground and keep missing the food, then THEY get bored and starts scratching at the walls.
Ad BDlvr says, let em rip,

my male has grown from 22g to 67 g in 3 weeks, WOOT, my female tho has gone from 15g to 39g in the same time, shes a lil princess. but eats.. so she is jsut a lil girl, i think
