Is this enough food????????

neon11 May 24, 2003 08:24 PM

I wrote a few days ago about my new baby that had stop eating for 3 days.He has now eaten but only 1 cricket each night and no worms ( meal or wax ).I just don't think that is enough, will he just eat more when he wants it? By the way here is a picture of the little squit!

eat than just let him eat more crickets and don't force the mealworms untill hes/shes healthier(fatter tail). it looks good though! how old is it?

Well, it is probabbly not enough food if he had eaten more before. Probabbly you want to raise the temp in your aquarium so his metabolism works faster and he will eat more. At what temp do you have it now?

I have a temp. of mid 80's .Should I take it up a notch, I do have a heat lamp( very low watt, I only use to rise the temp on my snake a little more on the day she eats). I was just afraid of him getting to hot with the UTH and light.Thank you.
