Greens

[suzy]

Just had to post salad bowl was empty this afternoon fist time they have eaten so many greens. I'm pretty sure it's all Athena but can't tell. Remember Athena is the one who we thought had passed at one point and then she all the sudden began getting better. Now she grows bigger every day.

That's great news! I know exactly how great if feels to make a good salad and come home and have it all gone!

I was wondering should I cut back on the crickets and let them eat more salad? They are eating like 30 - 40 crickets each a day. And would eat more If I let them. I'm buying 2000 about once a month.$$$$$$$.

Under a year they still need lot's of protein so I wouldn't cut back on crickets. They will actually let you know when to cut back. Both mine started to slowly turn down so much live prey. How big are the crickets you are feeding them? As you bump up the size of their crickets the less they will eat too.

Thank you I think we got 3/4 inch last time. So what is that med-large? I weighed them on the 11th and today was surprised one went from 87gm to 103gm and the other 79gm to 97gm is it normal to gain like this? I know it's better than losing but wow.

Yes, the quick weight gain is normal. My little guy was 113 and a month later he was 190g! The will taper off though as they get older.
