Going to have to check my scales are reading correct - that would make my lady a monster at over 250g!

What's overfed? I've seen advice to feed an adult from 3or4 large hoppers every other day to a dozen a day?

How big is your girl?

I been using a calcium (no d3) powder to dust all her locusts which are gut loaded with fresh fruit and veg - e.g. carrot, apple, dandelion, rocket (no calcium blocking food like broccoli). Intended to get some vitamin supplements too. Housing 450x450x900mm mesh enclosure Lighting: 100w basking...
