How Often ?

Just wondering how often everyone feeds their gu. I try to feed him twice a day, sometimes he eats like a pig both meals and others, only at one meal and a snack. Just curious what and how often you're feeding. Tried crickets and mealworms, hate them both. Currently waiting for my pinkies and dubias.

Do what works for you. Gary and rango eat once daily. Guru eats every other day, he refuses food if I offer it daily.

Rats, lots of different fish, mango, banana, berries, apples, turkey, chicken, liver, shrimp, they can eat just about any meat.

While he was growing, mine ate more at a time as well as more frequently. This summer mine has eaten much less than last summer. He's also not growing anymore...

I offer food once a day.
She will usually pig out one day, then the next eat a smaller portion, then the next day she wont eat anything. She used to eat ALOT when she was younger and growing fast, but I think shes almost done growing, as she just turned a year old, and is right at 4 feet.
