Default How many crix?

How many crix should I be feeding my slings?
I fed them for the first time since I got them yesterday and gave them 2 each (small). My GBB looks bigger already this morning.

2, 3 times a week should be ok but slings will eat when hungry so if there is a pre killed cricket it may eat straight away or leave it aside for a day.

My avic has perched itself up a height on one of the leaves but the cricket is on the substrate will the sling realise its there and come down to get it or does the cricket have to be where the sling is for it to eat it
