Answer 1

the reason they dont say how many is that you should just get a dish and put the mill worms in their and let him eat as he pleases and just put about 5 crickets in their every 2 days

Answer 2

well the thing about leopard geckos is they know when they are full so over eating isnt much a problem so feed the lizard as much as it wants to eat within 10-15mins after that just take any excess crickets out so they wont nibble on your gecko. as for how often since yours is already full grown feed it every other day but it sounds like your doing a good job so no need to worry unless its skinny and looking sickly.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Feed all he can eat in about 15 minutes.  Feed at night which is natural.  Feed 3-4 times a day.  Check out these guidelines:
