Update: 27 weeks old.
Tables have turned , Toothless is now the cricket devouring pig , his crickets don't last long, and Peppa has lost interest in her crickets (I removed a load of hiding crickets from her tub today in her weekly cleanout, I think perhaps only 1/2 the crickets I've been giver her have been eaten this week).
She's still eating some crickets (the ones that blunder close enough to nailed by her but she's not chasing them down like Toothless is now), BUT at least she's still demolishing her greens and salad , she LOVES her buk choi ! , and she's still gaining some weight.
Might have some to do with the cooler less sunny days now we are into late May (autumn here) and the shorter days (outside), checking against Rex and Puff's growth curves I can see a similar reduction in the growth gradient in April, May, June in Puff's and Rex's 1st winter, can't recall if there was a similar change in eating habits with Puff and Rex in the first winter (will have to check my detailed husbandry notes for them to see).
The growth gradient slowed then and then remained about the same til they were nearly full grown.
Coincidentally , Puff and Rex had grown to about 17x their original sizes by that time too.
Peppa only gained 1.9g this week, she's now 259.7g.
Toothless only gained 3.3g this week, he's now 201.2g.
Both their growth curves have a flattening trend trend going on in the last few weeks.
Not concerned about this at this stage , am putting it down to the weather and change of season and possibly another shed coming for Peppa.
Since Peppa has not been so keen on her crickets the last 2 or 3 weeks, I've restarted assist feeding her , she certainly seemed to enjoy the handfed crickets this morning.
By doing this with some of her crickets at least I can be sure she's getting the fats, proteins, vits and calcium she needs. Might also be that she's been watching me handfeeding Rex and wants the same deal for her too maybe (cunning little lady).
Also started adding 1/4 tsp of EXOTERRA adult beardie soft pellets to the greens and salad as off yesterday pm, looks like Peppa has eaten some , while Toothless is less than impressed with them (his food dish looks like he's been picking out the stuff he likes and leaving them), these are added as a supplement ONLY.

Aha ! .... definitely a shed on the way for Peppa , just saw her throat stretching .... there be the most likely cause for her loss of interest in hunting/chasing the crickets.
