The gecko i have is only three weeks old and i was wondering how much i should be feeding it, and how often. He has mealworms 24/7 in a dish in his tank. I've been feeding him 4-6 crickets at around 9:30 at night because he was still settling in and not eating that much, but last night he scarfed down nine crickets! is that okay?

Most of my 3 week olds have just discovered what "eating" really means, are revenous and pooping like crazy. There really does seem, with many of them to be an eating "on-switch" at some point. Feed it as much as it will eat. It may happen that it will overdo it and throw up, but it probably will learn its lesson.

My babies all eat a lot! I give them as much as they want when they're that young. None of them have ever thrown up after eating.
