So. I have recently switched Diego from size 3 2 size 4 coz he was goin through an awful lot for 3 n he was gettin bigger so altho i was nervous i thought y not. He loves the bigger bugs he really does. My bf plays a game with him where he throws the bugs dwn the hall. Sound gross i know but tbh he loves it. I have wood floor in the hall so he runs and runs til he gets near the locus then he lets himself slide alone the floor grabbing it in mid slide it awsum it has me in stiches every time. :D. Sorry to go off the subject but as i was sayin we upped the bugs coz he was eatin more and he still eat loads i think if we kept feeding hed keep eatin. He quite chunky as it is n i dnt wanna make him fat. He was goin thriugh a box of size 4s twice a day. U get around 12-20 bugs in a box depending on how healthy the box was. So the past couple of days ive cut him bak a bit ive been givin him 8. Twice a day he gets greens offered all day every day and he eats a fair amount of that aswel. Is this ok or am i starving him. I just worry he will get fat i think he got no self controll at all he also get worms twice a week and they go in seconds. He like a little endless pitt. He poops every day. He gets out 3-4 times a day and unless its late he rum rnd exploring. So all i want to know is am i ok to feed him like that or am i starving him ?

If hes eatin poopin and runnin hes good. If he were starving he wouldnt poop so much and would conserve energy. My Toviah doesnt eat enough to keep a gecko alive. But Bella makes uo for it - i havent seen her NOT eat any live prey i've offered. Can you get a video of Diego sliding into home plate?

This is so bizarre because that is exactly what I do, I find feeding in the wooden floor is easier, the crickets are so fast in his viv they run and hide so I'm having to find them and it takes ages, but putting them on floor the slip around making it easy for him to chase, when he's eaten I then transfer him straight onto his rock . Think your feeding him fine although I'm no expert this is roughly how much my make eats about 15-20 a day and greens, my female eats less xx
