32 oz should last about a year with three adult crested geckos. I typically feed about half a teaspoon per adult, adjusting depending on how much is left over. If the dish is clean, I add a quarter teaspoon more till there is just a little bit left on the dish the next day.

I feed adults 2-3 times a week, egg laying females I feed a bit more often, usually 3-4 times a week. I also leave a shallow dish of calcium powder in the cage with the females, so they can help themselves to extra calcium when they need it.
