How many crickets for a young netted dragon?

[Dragons_Lair]

Hey all, just scored myself a 5 month old central netted dragon and am wondering how many crickets he should be eating a day at this age and how many feedings per day if more than one?

Just feed it as much as it will eat twice a day. Remember to feed appropriately sized insects as well.

Thanks for the quick reply rocket! Also curious to know, whats the most anybody has ever fed one in a single session? I gave this guy a dozen this morning which i thought was quite a lot, although i'm sure he would have had more if i'd kept throwing them. He had another 6 for lunch then ripped into some hibiscus leaves straight after that.

Wow he is eating alot, maybe upsize his meals, once or twice a day is fine, when he is older you will see a dramatic slow down in feeding, and can reduce to every 2nd or third day
