Ours is just over 12 months old. He’s been sick with parasites (being treated). We just adopted him a few weeks ago and his appetite seems to come in waves. I know some of it is due to the parasites he came home with, but now that’s he’s been on treatments for them I’m wondering if his eating habits are more or less normal.
Do your adults eat everyday? He is getting dubias (and a few superworms, but more dubias- all dusted with calcium and the weekly multivitamin) 3x a week. He’s offered greens everyday, but he does not eat them everyday. Some days he doesn’t bother with them at all. And some days he will literally just eat a few pieces. Then other days he’s munching down, especially if I hand feed.
Today is one of the “I’m not interested” in food days. But I bet if I put dubias out he would eat them . I guess I’m wondering if this is normal for his age? Or if he’s still perhaps recovering from having parasites.
Any insight is appreciated as I want to make sure he’s not starving.
