I just got a leopard gecko about four days ago and the girl at the pet store said I should give him four crickets a day. He is about 4-5 months old. He already climbed onto my hand when I flattened it on the bottom of his tank. He is very friendly, but he only eats about two crickets a day.. Is this just because he is still getting used to the new home?? I usually put the crickets in around 7:00-9:00 with his night lamp turned on and he starts walking around his tank.
Also, should I put all of the crickets in at once? I usually just put one in every half an hour.

1. what is your husbandry?
2. What type of temperatures in the warm area, cold area, and humid hide.
He is just getting adjusted to his surroundings since he is just arrived. Just give him a time usually they take 2-3 weeks to adjust at this time if he doesn't want to get handled don't force him.

I haven't actually taken him out of the tank yet. He's in a 10 gallon tank with the temperature at 90F during the day. I have one hide and a water tub in his tank. I'm just wondering if its really bad that he's only eating about two crickets a day and leaves the other ones.

The reason I ask is because depending on temperature that's the hunger of your Leo heat helps them digest. Give him time to adjust maybe he is not adjusted
