For a baby argentine b&w how many crickets should fed a meal and how often?
For an adult how any mice should be fed a week?

For youngsters, feed as many (supplemented) crix as they will eat. It depends on how big your tegu is and the size of the crix, but its a lot...

In terms of mice, I have two sub-adults (that are just over a year old) and about a metre long, and they will take three or four adult mice each per feed with no trouble.

I'm guessing that a large adult could pack six or eight? adult mice away easy. If you feed mice two or three times a week, thats 12 to 24 a week.

I'm sure someone with large adults will comment, but I hope this helps,

Mark.
