i am just wondering wha your feeding schedules are.

I feed my adult female 8-12 crickets every 2-3 days. She has a VERY fat tail.

i feed mine 5 mealworms and 1 silk every other day and the silk every other other day, so about 2 silks and about 20 mealies a week, sometimes less.

as many crickets as they'll eat every other day. 2 butter worms a month for my more mature geckos and 1 butter worm a month for my juvies.

I feed about 6 cricks every other day and 4 mealies the other day is this to much?? not enough??

Feeding is different for each leo. They should be fed every other day, as much as they can eat. Using a variety of insects is best along with vitamins and calcium/d3. Some are content with a few crickets, mealies silkies.....while some like to eat a dozen or so larger items. I usually start with 10 food items each, and if they gobble them up within 5 minutes I add 5 more, ......then more if need be. They rarely over-eat, and you will be able to tell when they are full- if they stop chasing things and get lethargic, chances are they have had enough. Like I said though, each one is different:D

I don't have a schedule for mine. I feed them as much as they want, whenever I am home and remember :p They get offered food between 2-6 days a week, sometimes they eat, sometimes they aren't hungry. All are healthy, active, and have plump tails on them. I find mine go through phases where they prefer one type of food to another. Right now they are all on the same diet though consisting mainly of superworms, and occassionally offered mealies, pinkies, and fed silkworms for 1+ week after each expo.

I feed a few dozen crix a week and go through about 50-100 mealies a week but i do it with a colony of 6 and i give them as big as a variety as i can. They also get some silkies, wax, and butterworms oh and pinkies(treats).

Some of my BIG leopards can eat 30 mealworms in a sitting along with 10 crickets. Then that holds them over for about 2 days.
