Baby eating too much

[lin66]

My baby is a grubber and I’m worried he’s getting fat. He’s only 3 months old and eats about 20 BSFL in morning, 20-30 medium crickets around noon and 5 or 6 medium crickets about 5pm. He’s great at eating his veggies too. I bring him out to run around a couple of times a day and his tank is set up for plenty climbing opportunities. Can you over feed a baby? Should I put him on a diet or would that be harmful for his development and growing?

No diet!!!!!!!!!! He sounds like he is doing great and w/ what your feeding he should grow like a champ-- be careful you dont loose him - we dont usually recommend them coming out so soon for fearful of losing them and letting them get used to their surroundings --- also beware they think they can fly so if your carrying him make sure you keep one hand on him and do not let him sit on your shoulder - we have had so many accidents happen and they have not turned out good---

Thanks karrieree. I’m so relieved I don’t have to put him on diet. I only let him run about in our living room with the door shut. And when I’m carrying him he usually clings on to my chest but he does love to jump so I put a hand over him just in case. Thanks for advice ?
