i have a female panther a few months. she eats steadily through the day and i give her abt 5 crix in the morning and abt 5 more at night she usually eats em all how much is to much?

and also i use flukers dry feed for the crix to gut load them and flukers water "gel" both are high in calcium for the crix i havent read ne thing bad abt the both so im assuming thier safe? just would love a confirmation on that.. thanks!
 
Flukers dry mix isnt a gutload. If your trying to gutload crix then you need to start feeding them nutritious fresh fruits and veggies. ie( romaiine lettuce, carrots, apples, sweet potatoe, orange slices. kale, etc...) And flukers isnt a very good option for a dry mix. Buy some cricket crack from Simsswiss or tiki tiki reptiles both are forum members.

You also need to be giving that female calcium by way of dusting prey items. Follow the following schedule: calcium w/o d3 at least 4-5 times a week. calcium with d3 twice a month & Mulivitamin dust once a month. I usually use the last two on alternating sundays.
 
what your crix eat your cham is eating as well so it is best to gutload with fresh veggies/fruits/greens such as collards, mustard greens, kale, carrots, sweet potato, oranges, dandelion greens, squash etc. (just stay away from brocolli and spinach.)*
if your cham is younger than 6 months I would let her eat as much as she wants everyday and if she is older I would cut her back to every other day feedings. Are you dusting your feeders with supplements? (calcium w/o d3, calcium w d3, multi vitamins)
 
I agree with both. You should only be feeding your crickets healthy fresh friuts and veggies. Think of a cricket as a food loaded pill for your cham. You are what you eat. Your cham is what your crickets eat. So they need the very best you can give them. My 5 month old panther eats 12 to 17 crickets every day. And I offer them 1 hour after the lights come on. They nee to eat early so they have time to digest before the lights go off. IMO.

Hope this helps:)
