[QUOTE="sasspants, post: 40212, member: 3568"] Owned my G. Porteri for a few months now and he's doing great! But...he's started to want feeding a lot more lately. When we first bought him he only ate 2-4 crickets a week, and sometimes he'd leave them and we'd remove them from his enclosure soon after. This last month he has shown slight aggression due to hunger we think, and seems to go only a day or two without food before he's hungry again. Then will be very docile and welcoming after he's fed. The pet shop we bought him from hadn't kept him well, he was on wood chips for substrate and when I moved him into his home now there were tons of dead crickets in the small box they kept him in. They advised us to feed him every other day which people had said was crazy and way too much for a T!! Of course we don't want to feed him too much and make him unwell, but his agression is unsettling us. Any suggestions or advice? [/QUOTE]
