I have a roughly one year old male who’s about 7-9” and I’m not sure of his current weight but he is healthy. When I got him at about 5-6m months of age he was eating 10 small crickets every other day and the around 8 months moved to ten large crickets every other day. He’s now at every third day but I feel like that’s too often for his age? He’s not chunky and is relatively active. And often when we try to wait longer before feeds he comes out trying to hunt for nothing. We also try to give him other options but he’s not a fan of anything else and will completely refuse to eat anything but crickets to make up for this every other week he gets a small/medium hornworm, has a calcium dish (without D3) and is give with D3 every two feeds or so. He also won’t drink water out of a disk he wants to lick it off the glass?? I don’t know if he’s just a silly boy. Can post a picture of him in the morning if needed. Also got him from a reputable reptile and fish store not a petco or PetSmart.

He should be eating once-twice a week now nqa

And you’re gonna have to get him to eat other foods, they need at least 3 staples

He basically gets fed twice a week and then one week he has 1 extra on the seventh day. I’ve tried about all there is, night crawlers, super worms, mealworms, he will not eat any of it, it took him 3 tries to like the hornworm it’s the only thing else he will eat

There’s way more than those 3

Nqa but there are some people in the server that are in Canada, they may have suggestions. Have you tried gutting crickets over mealworms to try introducing them?

[vast breach]

Yes, he bit one and ate it and then walked away and didn’t touch them again, we are going to try mealworms again but in a different way to see if he take em

Ontario, only difficult thing is due to unpredictable weather and my work schedule being a mess getting stuff shipped is hard because like today it started hailing out of nowhere
