Well I would say your safe with an adult to give them 3 or 4 a week. They are fatty and such but a few can't hurt

Could you please not type in all caps for the title of every message?
Maybe it's just me, but it is like hearing nails on a chalkboard....
Thanks!

Not a problem. I would want somebody to stop something that just got on my nerves too, and frankly, it isn't that big of a deal to me, and something stupid to get people upset over, so I figured better to just stop than getting people upset...thanks again for speaking up and saying something, I'm sure you weren't the only one, lol.

Well for me i get them ( about 5) every other week, just because im scared she'll get addicted. This is a pretty safe amount though i dont think ill feed them anymore. If your looking to put weight on a gecko, get pinkies i dont think they're addicting so you dont have to limit the amounts as much. I feed a pinky once a week or right after my female lays. L8er

Any good suggestions on a site to get pinkies? I'm not sure any place around me has them.

I have my normal female who is housed with my albino, I have only seen the normal eat crix...and she was much skinnier than the albino, she has been like that since I got her...so I fed her some wax worms to fatten her up, and she ate a TON of them...how long should I feed her them before I try something else, and should I just feed her them until she stop eating them, or stop after s certain amount. How long will it take her to fatten up by eating them???

They fatten up quick on things like that. My breeders that are stubborn eaters and waste away can go from sickly to pleasantly plump in 3 to 4 weeks on superworms you can expect a little quicker on waxies but it is really not the best to overfeed them. Try supers if you can get them.

Can't get supers anywhere.
