feeding

I was wondering if Uro's know when they're full and can't eat anymore. This might be stupid but I do know of other animals who do not know and will keep eating and eating. And how should mealworms be added into his diet, if any at all. thanks.

the bulk of a uros diet should be healthy greens like turnip or mustard greens, with some vegetables thrown in for variety. mealworms/crickets/insects of any kind are a treat only, and should only be offered once or twice a week. uros absolutely know when they have had enough when it comes to the greens. however, when it comes to crickets, i'm quite sure my uros would eat as many as i would give them, so it's up to you to curb that. but give them all the greens they will eat.
