They should definatley be eating at least 5 small prey items every day to every other day. my 2-3 month old leo can eat about 10-15 medium mealies every day or everyother day, it can very, but you should feed them as much as they can eat at one go for a while, then adjust their food to maintain a healthy weight.

Hes still pretty tiny, about 3.5 inches. I offer him more than 1 cricket but he shows no interest in the second one after eating his first. He eats about 1/4" to 1/2" crickets.
