Am I feeding her enough?

Well I've had Scorch for almost three weeks now (She's 6.5 mo old). She started out not really eating anything, and her appetite has increased although not as much as I would like.
She eats anywhere from 6-11 crickets per feeding, and I feed her twice a day. Usually I feed her for 15 minutes or until she goes to her bask and assumes the pancake position (and even then I like to scuttle crickets over to her to see if she'll go at any.
She went crazy over a tub of roaches one day but thats the most i've ever seen her eat.
Ah, and she eats quite a bit of her salad.


Should I be concerned that she is still eating so little? Will it affect her health in the long run only eating approx 20 crix a day plus salad?

Have you ever tried feeding her in a separate container? She might just be lazy and doesn't want to chase them... I feed mine in a rubbermaid container... just drop the crix in and put him in. He actually goes crazy when he sees me getting them ready. He doesn't have far to chase them, there's nowhere for them to hide, and it's way better not having to try and catch the leftovers in the viv.

That young, she really should be eating alot more. Good luck.

Yea I have tried and she kinda just stands there and looks at me, or glass dances.
Then when I put her in the viv and drop crix in, she goes after them lol. She's a wierdo.

Yea, I get the feeling she is lazy sometimes. I cant wait to get her on worms :roll:
