Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nurse Ratchet" data-source="post: 208664" data-attributes="member: 37967">So I have read and reread so much on feeding, but I find the information lacking. For my experienced friends I ask advice, not on how often, but on how much to feed. Not worried about my sub adults, but concerning slings and juveniles.For my slings I am offering one small cricket on M/W/F and removing if not eaten in 30 min. I feel ok-ish about them but would appreciate input.My juvenile A. avic is offered one small cricket weekly overnight. I remove in morning. It has only eaten one cricket in the last 5 weeks. Stubborn thing. Is there a secret I'm missing to feeding advice?My fresh out of hiding juvenile T vagans looks emaciated! So skinny. Tried to photograph, but super shy right now. I gave a super worm on Saturday, small cricket and super worm today. Still so skinny. Should I offer more?</blockquote>
