When I had my rankins Dragons they were never big fans of veggies as juveniles. And up until last week my new baby hasn't been either. She's 4 months now, and about 4 days ago I cooked some squash. She goes nutso for it! I've always started her morning w/ a "salad plate" of greens n assorted veggies, but she'd only have a couple bites. Now that I added the squash, she eats the whole thing.
My concern is the sudden change in insect/veg ratio. She only eats about half as many crickets now that she eats all her veggies. It's probably still a 60/40 but last week it was closer to 90/10.
Should I offer less veggies so she maintains a higher protein percent? Or should I let her eat and be happy she has taken to them?
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
(Ps. She is also going through a growth spurt. Her bowel movements are still solid and healthy looking. She still does eat plenty of insects. I'm just concerned about proper ratio for her age. Like, if 80/20 is the standard until they're 1, or if it should gradually change from 80/20 to 20/80 over the course of the year.)
