Pinkies are expensive, and chances are, they will eat pinkies for the first time they see them, then never again. My 4 geckos are pinkies one time and loved them, so i got 6 and none were eaten, it was abig waste. I would suggest feeding pinkies after the geckos lay eggs, or once every few months, not on such frequency as you described.

Even feeding them one each at the end of the breeding season will help. Just to give them something to bulk up on for the rest of the year.
