Proper Amount?

[LucisMommie]

Well I am new to B/D . I Got my Luci Sunday. I have been feeding her crickets. But how many should I give her? She is approx. 4mths old. I tried Kale,Romania Lettuce and Grapes but she has no interest seems.

Give her as many crickets 2-3 times a day as she can eat in 15 minutes or so. When they are babies, they require massive amounts of protein to support their rapid growth. Some babies can blow through 50 or more proper sized crix in one feeding.

As for the veg, she probably won't be very interested in them, but be sure to offer them daily. Stick with dark, leafy greens like collard greens and mustard greens for a veggie staple.
Check out the chart here for a good reference on what to feed her:

my 4 month old (9 1/2" long) female only eats about 5 medium crickets a day now, even though i offer them 2-3 times a day. when i got her a month ago she ate 7-8 crix every day. she only likes a couple meal worms once a week or so, & she wont eat greens (even though i offer a variety: kale, mustard greens, collard greens, romaine lettuce). she seems healthy, a little lazy maybe...Still normal?
