I have a 20 month old adult female, and I am pretty sure she is getting overweight. Her belly almost drags. She was getting 10-20 crickets a day, with veggies. She would not eat her veggies at all until recently, so I didn't cut back out of fear she wouldn't get her vitamins. Now she is eating her veggies daily.
I have cut back over the last two weeks to 10 a day, then 10 and 5 every other day. Crickets are 3/4 to 1 inch. I don't want her to starve out. I know she should get some crickets but about how many should she be getting when she does get her insect meal? Some sites say every day and others a couple times a week which is not helpful at all. I am thinking 5 every day. Is that too few? Or do I have to wait and see?
If I let her eat crickets until she is full, it would probably be 50 or until she exploded.
I hand feed her. She is not big on chasing them down, and I hate dismantling her whole set up to find escaped crickets. She will chase the Superworms. She gets 2-3 of those rarely. Any more and she stops pooping for several days.
