unlike fish, geckos will only eat as much as they need and not overeat. I usually give mine 10 mealworms and 1 waxworm in a night and sometimes find 1 or maybe 2 mealworms still in the food dish. Some nights I see nothing and sometimes I see a bowl full of worms. The mornings I wake up to a full bowl I know that my gecko probably looks like a car with a new paint job (yah it molted) As they get older they will eat less as they can store more fat and have a slower metabolism. (just like us, although we do tend to eat more) Good-Luck with your gecko

about three to four crickets every other day. If you notice it to start getting skinny, add a couple more crickets or feed same amount every day.

A jumping lizard is not a species of gecko.

Leopard Gecko's really like mealworms. However, don't feed the gecko too many, as the meal worms are like candy to them. Too much candy, and what happens to you? You get sick. It's the same with leopard geckos and mealworms. I recommend giving it 2-3 a day.
