[QUOTE="Nurse Ratchet, post: 207124, member: 37967"] What are your thoughts on small, more frequent feedings? I read/ seen a lot of advice on how many items people feed variously sized/aged T's per week, but I've just been offering one item every once a week. Am I doing it wrong? Should I be tossing in multiple feeders and fishing them out later? That doesn't seem right, and it's a pain in the tush to hunt down the feeders imo. Primarily I'm referring to my GBB who is always lurking at the front glass with a "feed me woman" look. I've been giving one large cricket or one super worm every 4-5 days. When I got him, abd was less than half the size of carapace. I read somewhere that they should be about the same size, which they are now. T. albopilosus I purchased is a chunky monkey who got a worm so he'd simmer down. T. vagan has been buried since 11/11, so no food, and A. avic has had two small crickets over 3 week period. Super skinny but too busy molting to have a appetite. [/QUOTE]
