I feed hatchlings crickets for the first couple months. By that time, most are already on mealworms. All food items are dusted with Minerall (I). I feed them every day until about 10 months old. Thje only time they get crickets is when they stop or slow down eating. Then they only get crickets until they start eating regularly again. Variety is not necessarily good for animals. It is more important to feed nutritious meals and use a good suppliment. Besides, crickets stink!

The youngest I had was a 6 week old but when I got her I fed her baby mealies dusted whenever she wanted and now I feed her and my other leo dusted mealies whenever they want.
