adult 2 to 8 baby 5 to 10 i feed my adult leopard gecko every other day 2 to 8 crickets

adult gecko's should be every other day with a meal size that can be eaten by the gecko in fifteen minutes. Around 2-10 crickets can be eaten at each feed time. Juvenile gecko's should be fed everyday ranging from 2-20 crickets depending on how hungry they are. If there is any left over insects it is best to remove them from the geckos housing. I feed mine crickets, mealworms and locusts, it all depends on the size of the insect and the gecko.
