How often do you feed your dekay's?

4everherpn Sep 03, 2004 07:43 PM

I feed mine every week or 2. I feed them canadian nightcrawlers. I have 4 in a 10 gallon tank with numerous hides. I put about 8 nightcrawlers in for feeding. I figure they can do some hunting for their food as done in the wild.

I wanted to report last night while roadrunning I saw 3 dekay's 2 dead and 1 alive. i collected the living one. I also saw 1 redbelly which is rare for this area. That was the first one I had ever seen. It was DOR after we barely hit its head with the front passenger wheel. We collected it for scarlet king food.

I normally do the same thing. I just dump a bunch of worms in and check about a week later. If they are still there, I just leave them. If they are all gone, I wait a few days and then dump some more. It might even be beneficial to split them up and that way you can see who is eating and who isn't (in case you have some that hog the food). Good luck.
