How many crickets is he getting daily?

I'm seeing young, not able to sex yet... so with that in mind, I'd think that more feeding would be suggested. I fed mine, as babies, 7 weeks on, as many as 4 times a day.
I counted salads as part of that, too.
Hope this helps.

If he is under a year....feed crix 3x a day as many as he can eat in 10 minutes. Also there should be a bowl of greens in his tank all day. Should be eating 80% protein 20% greens. The crix can be anywhere from 30-100 a day depending on his size and appetite.
If he is over a year and a half...his protein intake should be much less. 80% greens 20% protein.

Definitely. If you can fit in 3 feeding a day that is great. Many can only do 2 due to work schedule. Make sure you allow 2 hours before feeding and at the last feeding make sure there is 2 hours left before lights out for digestion.
Tip for feeding....put a bunch of crix in a plastic baggie. Put your calcium dust in with them, shake. For 10 minutes put the crix in the tank maybe 10 at a time. As he is finishing the first batch throw in more. Towards the end of the 10 minutes or when you see him slowing down, don't put as many in the tank...this way if he stops eating before the 10 minutes you aren't trying to catch a bunch of uneaten crix.
