Leopard Gecko feeding schedule

Hey guys, right now I own two snakes(as seen in my signature) I'm looking into leopard geckos. I jst wanna know what is a good schedule for feeding different items and quantities for those items. From babies to juveniles to sub-adults to adults. Also, what do you think about the schedule for dusting?

Leos are pretty flexible but this is what I've stuck to:

Neonates/Juveniles get fed daily as much as they want to eat. Neonates/Juvies have an enormous appetite!

You will notice with sub adults that their appetites may start to slack off. Sub adults usually get fed every other day.

Adults get fed every other day to every 2 or 3 days. Appetites can vary wildly per individual but I let them regulate themselves. I've got a 90g mack snow that eats about 2-3 times a week... on the flip side I've got a 77g hypo tangerine female that eats every other day.

As far as dusting, it really depends on what you use. I use pure calcium in a jar lid in their enclosures and I dust with Repashy Superfoods ICB for leopard geckos. I've used this stuff for a year and a half and I love it. I dust with the ICB every other feeding.

Quantities of a feeder really depends on what you're feeding! I feed dubia roaches as a staple with some mealworms, crickets, and superworms on the side occasionally. You will get to know your animal and see how much they tend to eat and go from there. I've got 17 geckos and I know all of their eating habits well.

Good luck!

EDIT: Be patient, your thread hasn't even been up for 10 minutes! :P

Haha, I have a very small collection compared to some ;)

Leopard geckos are awesome critters and very rewarding.

Here's some of my girls (these are long out of quarantine, and no, they don't all live together! I house mine individually. They're just together for a photo ;) )
