If he's not fat looking but just well built and he eats the crickets within a few minutes of offering, then I would offer a few more.

well i put 3 in last night he ate 1 pretty much straight away, n then i cnt find the other 2 this morning so assuming that hes ate them aswell, gna try every other day see how hes looking, and give him a teaspoon of mushed banana on the days he doesnt have crix

I feed my single male every night at the moment.

My male and female, have been fed crix, and thankfully love Crestie diet, they people I got them from fed them 3-4 times a week.

I kinda think, you just need to monitor what they eat and how fast if its crix. Kinda like you do with leo's

Also try and remember that like any animal they do have an appetite that can go up and down. You don't eat exactly the same amount all the time so why should a crestie? Wink
