more newbie questions

SKY_NAS Aug 25, 2003 10:38 AM

I have more questions. I read everything I can find on my own but not finding all my answers.

I have three babies 3-4" nose to end of tail. One is eating like a pig, and the other two stopped eating 3 days ago. We separated out the bigger one, and hand fed the other two. Now the littlest ones seem to be doing fine, but they will look at the crickets I put in the cage and then open their mouths and look at me, standing scratching at the glass. They only do this behaivor when I stand near the cage. Could they have gotten spoiled or is something still wrong? They are pooping, active and gobble crickets as long as I hand feed them to them.

Also, can babies have any wax worms in limited quantities?

Are bait shop crickets and worms different than pet store ones? The guy at the corner bait shop says I am paying 6 times or more what he charges for the same thing and he says he feeds his better.

its hard to say which is better crix...just depends on the care they are given.

and they may become spoiled..they may only eat from your hand in the future..see if you can get them off that just to save yourself some time down the line.
