Pacman eating less and less

CokeOfMan Aug 31, 2004 12:11 PM

I'm out of a computer for the moment, been out of one for ten days. It's tough

Anyway, my question: starting to notice my Pacman is starting to eat less and less, and also burying more. I think it may just be beacuse he is getting bigger don't wnat as much food as often, but just asking to be sure. Tepmrature is as before (around 75) and nothing has changed.
For example: Last week he only ate five crickets and stayed buried for about a week. Cleaned his cage about a week after feeding.
Fed him crickets yesterday, thought he would be crazy since he hadn't got any food for about a week. But he only ate six crickets. And before I could almost feed him around 15 crickets a week.
What could be the reason of this, that he/she is getting bigger?

Thanks in advance

sounds normal, they do eat less as they get older, especially with it hiding, they will come back out when their hungry, mines does anyway

just keep an eye on its body mass, if its not losing weight its fine
