how often should you feed leos a pinkie if they will take then and how big should they be before you feed pinkies to them. My gecko is about 7.5 inches and around 50 grams and hes male

I'd say every month but then again I don't use pinkies often

most caresheet say every 2 to 3 weeks but imo thats a little much. They are very high in fat content...i give mine one every once in a while, or during breeding times especially they say. Id say like once a month like ixador said. Sounds like a good schedule

I only feed pinkies to gravid females or to them right after they layed thier eggs. Pinkies have quite abit of fat and protein to them so i wouldn't suggest feeding them too often.

It is good to feed pinkies to gravid females because they contain alot of calcium from the milk they drink but out of seoson I would say about once every month.
