Hi, Welcome to the forums. The amounts and frequency depends on the dragon. You dont want to have an obese dragon that just lays around but shoot for a nice healthy dragon that is active. Post some pictures and maybe a few here will give you there opinion on his condition. :)

In all honesty most young adults have big appetites.

24 appropriate sized crix a day for a growing juvenile or young adult, definitely is not too much for most BDs ... I used to limit mine at 30-35 crix a day, if they wanted that many.
