My boy is an eating machine

[lovepicasso]

Don't know just how much I should let him eat, so I need a little help here.....I feed him 10 to 12 large crickets in the mornings and a couple of mealworms in the afternoon, plus he eats on his pothos.....he will eat all of his crickets as fast as he can and it looks like he is looking for more the rest of the day.....he is only 4 months old.

Feed once a day, as much as he will eat in 15min if he is a cup feeder. he cant over heat with this style.

I thought they won't over-eat period though? I feed my guy, 4 months old also, about 8 crickets in the morning, and about 8 in the early evening. He seems to always want more no matter how much I give him... It's getting expensive

Ya in his prime he could do 3 dozen in a sitting. But yes they can over eat with multi feedings day after day, especially females. Now babies ya you want to feed multi times a day, but around 4 months its going to be get your fill and then stop time. And then around 8-10 months they will start eating every other day.
