My new baby whites is a machine. He would probably eat my whole supply of crickets in one shot if I allowed him to lol. I was feeding him 2 per night, but I cut it down to two every other night. Don't want him getting all obese.

haha nice yeah do you know about how much an adult would eat
Not sure, but I feed my RETF 3 mediums every other night and he devours them all.
yeah i guess i will have to just expirement now the only obstacle in the way is convincing my mom to let me get one
My Whites are almost fully grown and they get fed 3 crickets every other day. I plan to have them down to 2 crickets every other day when they have reached full maturity. Mine are a little chubby but not obese by any means.
are they medium sized?
I am using Medium crickets. My girls are big enough to eat the large but my newer male just seems a little small ATM to eat the larges. When he gets a little bigger I may switch over to the larges but as of now I am gonna stick with the Medium Crickets. I like using the mediums and may stick with them cause if they are a little small I may have to feed more but there is less of a worry about impaction.
My Whites has been getting an average of about 6 large crickets a night. It seems like a lot but while shes gotten larger in size she dosn't look obese to me. She just looks larger over all but her ratio's (width to length) have stayed about the same. She is extremely active at night (by how dirty the walls of her tank and the leaves of her new plant are) so I'd assume thats why she hasn't gained a lot of actual weight. I'd say its more trial and error. Start with 3 (if using large) and go up or down depending on his/her activity level.
