Hi,
At this age, let her eat as many bugs as she wants. They do most of their growing in a short amount of time and they need massive amounts of protein to do so. Offer her 2, 10 min. feedings twice a day and let her decide. If you don't feed enough early on, their growth can become stunted. When Gordo was a baby...he reguarly ate 100 crickets a day and my baby Layne eats nearly that many...about 80 a day. Chiquita girl is much more interested in silkworms..heh. You might want to consider feeding silkies instead...mealworms have a very high chitin level. Continue to offer greens everyday...but at this age, bugs are much more important.

What does friend mean to you?
A word so wrongfully abused
Are you like me, confused
All included but you
Alone...
The sounds of silence often soothe
Shapes and colors shift with mood
Pupils widen and change their hue
Rapid brown avoid clear blue
Why’s it have to be this way?
Be this way
Flowers watched through wide brown eyes
A child sings an unclaimed tune
Innocence spins cold cocoon
Grow to see the pain too soon
