It seems that my young savannah(5-6 inches) has lost interest in crickets. He doesnt even acknowledge them. But every time i put a pinky or fuzzy in there w/ him, he eats them up quick. Now here come the questions: How should i adapt to his loss of interest in crickets? and If he ate a pinky saturday, can he eat another one today(Monday)? and if so, many?

thanx

for a young sav like yours, feed him as many pinkies as he'll eat in a half hour or so. Also at that age, he can eat pinkies (or crickets) everyday. He's growing and needs lots of food.

Yeah that makes sense. I've had him for about 5 days and he hasnt pooped that i know of unless he's buried it, i guess he is usin all of the food he is eating for growth.

thanks

p.s. How soon after they eat can u handle them, or how long do u need to let them digest their food before u handle them again.
