Yesterday I gave my T two crickets. One was big and the other was id say normal size. The big one it seems like he ate half, put it on the ground, danced in a circle putting silk over it, then finished it. Then i gave him the other one and today he ate two more. Am i feeding him too much or if hes full he will stop?

2-3 large crix is what I give my rosea every two weeks or so. When you find leftovers you will know to tone it down. Once you can read what your spiders are telling you keeping Ts is a cake walk.
<edit> also you can judge how much you feed on abdomen size.

How much to feed depends on the size of the spider.
My MF G. rosea, gets 2 large crickets once a week. I may give her an extra one if I push my feedings longer than weekly, as I tend to do sometimes.
Some spiders will stop when they've had enough, some won't, it all depends on the spider. I have many that would eat until they burst if I let them, and some that won't.

Yep the first week and a half I had my rosie she ate 2 moths almost everyday and at the end ate a 3 inch long katydid and then another cricket before going on a diet for the past 2 weeks so far. She is grown up and I think she will know when to quit. They're all different.
