Peanut is 6-7 months old , how much should i be feeding him now ? if i let him he would eat non stop and i dont know if thats still ok at the age ? he eats about 15-20 crickets and some veggies a day, sometimes worms as a snack. when do i start cutting back on the crickets ???

thanks

Unless he starts to become overweight, and you are sure hes a male, he can eat as much as he needs to.
only fmales need a restricted diet.
how big are the crickest you are feeeding him?

yes im sure he is a male , he has little bumps on the back of his feet. he is eating med. to large crickets depending on what the pet store has.

ok, well if hes eating large crickets, i say just let him eat.
my guy is almost 11 months old, and i let him eat as much as he wants. at least of his staple bugs.

see, mine is a female, so she will actually STOP eating when she is full, so today she disided to eat 4 crickets chopped peach (in tiny peices) and one mealworm.
but on her birthday i always but her goliath worms, she loves 'em, but when i feed her those she will eat as much as she can, so i limit her to MAXIMUM 2 on her birthday and 1 and a half on other days (her birthday is soon, on jan. 28 )
