for those that have experience with babies...how many crickets can he eat a day? I don't want to feed too much...I know the pet store was feeding them baby food but they said they just got them in...
and to double check, should the little one be getting dusted crix once per day??
any other advice would be appreciated...

The general rule for feeding crickets to a young dragon is to give them as many as they will eat in 5 or 10 minutes. It's not uncommon for a young, growing dragon to put away 30 or 40 crickets in one sitting. Yes, I would dust the crickets with calcium 5 or 6 times a week.
