I am just curious as to how much your breeders eat? The reason I say this is that I have two adult females right now both of them are 55+ grams...One of them still eats like a pig 6-8 crickets where as the other only eats a little only a few crickets, I feed all my geckos every other day. They are both maintaing weight and both are still putting on the grams lol. Anways I just wanted to knwo if your geckos act simiar.

Every gecko has different eating patterns. Some will eat only once a week, some 5 times a day. As long as they are healthy and have proper supplementation, they will be fine. If they start to lose weight or becoming skinny/unhealthy from it, then you have a problem. My female will eat 10 kingworms when my male will only eat 1 at each feeding, but they are both very healthy.

Most of my leo's, once they get past 6 or 7 months of age and are really fat, get real lazy about eating. They definetely do not eat as much, and really don't want to work too hard for their food. Me being Italian (haha), I want to feed them all the time, and they are just not interested in eating every day anymore. Anyway, in my experience the adults are not as big of eaters.
