Juvenile Veiled eating a lot!

[KKess]

Hey guys! So my new Veiled has been home now 4-5 days. The guy I bought him from said he is between 6-7 months and was eating every other day at the shop . However on day one he ate 10 crickets in a matter of minutes and 4 mealworms. I was very happy to see he was comfortable enough on his first day to eat. So the next day I fed him again. He ate it all up. My question is can you over fed them, or will they only eat what they need?? He has continued the last 2 days to eat however much I give him which has been about 6 crickets and 4-5 worms. And he even ate from the tongs I used today which made me happy as well. I'm trying to get him used to my hand

As babies, you will want to feed them more. Yes you can overfeed them. Are you positive on the gender? Could you post pics of your cham?

Right but he is not a baby anymore. He is def a male based on his appearance.

I guess I can start feeding him every other day, I just felt bad like If he was hungry, than I wanted to fed him

if you do over feed him he might throw up if he throws up he will likely not eat the feeders you feed him

He has not thrown up yet. Thankfully. I did see him poop the second day I had him. But since then I have added more plants and have not seen any more feces since. I'm not sure though if it's bc I can't see it no that he has more foliage in his cage. Since I've only had him 4-5 days , I was waiting until at the least, this Friday to take him out so I could look more in his cage

Although I don't see a tars all spur in the picture from the angle that is a male. The patterns are definitely those of a boy.
