I feed him a couple in the morning a little while after lights are turned on. are you gut-loading your feeders? I gut load with carrots, collard greens and I have put some fruit before too like blueberries but not sure how beneficial that is it’s just all i had.
- Supplements - What brand and type of calcium and vitamin products are you dusting your feeders with and what is the schedule? I use the rep-cal phosphorus free calcium with vitamin D, ultrafine powder that i got recently and not im thinking that was a mistake too because i need one without vitamin d i think? before that i was using just calcium powder about every other feed and now ive only gave her this new powder like one since she stopped eating about a week after getting it
