Re: Number of crickets to feed

2-3 Appropriate size crickets every week or as many as the gecko can eat in one sitting once a month. This goes for all ages and sizes.

Re: Number of crickets to feed

around 3-6 depending on how big the crested gecko is (pretty much give as many as it'll eat in one sitting), and only offer dusted crickets no more than once a week.

I completely agree. Just remember to remove any uneaten pinheads. they will pick on the hatchlings.
