Juvenile Feeding Frequency?

GeckoGlider13 Feb 05, 2004 07:27 AM

Last sunday I purchased my first leopard gecko and I was wondering how much i should feed him/her(too young to sex). I know that as a juvenile they should be fed daily and have the crickets dusted with calcium but how many should they get per feeding? I've been feeding 5-6 crickets a day. thanks

Feed as many as he/she will eat in a 15-20 min (might be just 15min) time period and then remove any uneaten crickets as they can stress out your gecko.
