I do one feeding in the morrings. My son gets on the bus at 7 am so lights on at 6ish around 7:30 i put is feeders in. then when I get up from a nap. I but in is sald then at night I but more feeders around 5ish. I have only had his for a few days. the baby.
I have only done 2 feedings a day for my guy since I got him as that is all that my schedule really allows. If you cut it down to 2 feedings, just make sure he always has plenty of greens available to nibble on in between feedings.
I work from home but I dont want to let him get use to 3 times a day just in case I have to travel. May be I will just slow down the middle feeding get it to nothing and give him a top off of greens at mid day.
Also another option that I use for if I need to go out of town or won't be home for his second feeding...basically I know what my guy eats for feeders during his 2 feedings so if I know I will be working late or something, at his first feeding I just give him double of whatever he normally eats plus a few extra. My staple feeder is Phoenix worms and they stay fine in the tank on the cool side all day in a dish. When I do this he will devour probably half of the worms immediately and then throughout the rest of the day he will pick here and there.
Thats a good idea. When he was real tiny he wasnt a fan of them. He likes big bugs for some reason. Even when he eats hi crickets he always goes for the big ones first then looks at me like I have to eat these smalls ones too. :shock:
I will order some up and try again and see if that works. I travel alot in the summer and my son goes to school so I need to get him use to 2 feedings.
I feed once a week in autumn before brumation. spring and summer, once every day or a few times a week in the summer. rex eats huge grasshoppers, 2 or 3 a day, or 8 to 10 large superworms per feeding.
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
