We've had Thanos for just over 2 months now and he is around 7 to 8 months. After asking previous about lighting and temperature etc I'm now pretty confident these are good and he is growing well, putting on around 14g a week we have worked out!! He has gone from 22g to 110g which seems like an awful lot but he is still not interested in his greens even though I give them to him every morning with 3/4 mealworms and 6/8 calci worms about an hour after his lights come on. He always seems to manage to find the worms and maybe eats one or two tiny bits of rocket and sometimes a bit of apple. An hour later he will eat 5/6 small dubia and then around 10 s/m locusts. I leave the salad in but he never touches it during the day. In the evening he then has another 5/6 dubia and then sometimes another 10 locusts!
I think he had a pretty bad start with the shop we got him from only feeding 3 locusts morning and night so I wanted him to catch up in terms of nutrition and weight and health but now wonder if he is growing too fast. We generally feed the locusts until he refused and closes his eyes. He's also shedding at the moment but his appetite has not decreased!!
