Mate I did the exact same thing and now I'm over run with the bloody things. I think 50 would last me a month I'm going to end up with about 200 moths at this rate lol. And yes I have split them too as some are still about 10mm in length

I feed mine every 2 days with the chow if that helps so leave it a day then add the carrot or other greens suggested and I'm sure they will be fine.

Is 2 silkworms that are 2" in length a reasonable meal? I surprise if you compaired it to large crix it's probably 6 or so

I hardly mess with him it was just that one time I changes things plus he needed a complete clean out. All I do is the daily routine of spot cleaning and trying to feed

Yeah I guess I am lol sorry guys! I'm just worried that if this is because if stress and the fact he doesn't eat anywhere near as much as what a lot of thing I read it might cause problems later on He is meant to be a blue bar ambilobe. The colour on the last pic I put on is him out of...

And can someone give me a break down of the 3 different temps throughout the cage please? Basking I know is 85-90 Middle? Bottom?

So the misses said that Trevor spent ally of time near and on the basking spot tonight. I'm guessing he may have been doing it a lot for most of the day but I could be wrong. If I have had the temps too low and with the second halogen I can get the ambient in the middle of the cage to 78-80...

Yeah I know and I was for a while but after swing the outcome I stopped

Ok I'll give it time. As for heating the way tee there was a guy on here that did test on the water heated to 111 degrees and it comes out at about 3 degrees above room temp so it's basically a waste of time and money

I know he loves the hand pump mister with warm water because he runs to the front of the cage to stand in front of it

Pretty much from the day I put him in the new cage.

Yeah I know it's been 6 weeks though

They will get a little stressed from cleaning and can go off food and breeding (slowed) mine do but I have so bloody many I hardly notice it. As for food mine don't seem to go off it but I only put fresh veg in every 2nd or 3rd day depending on when I remember. Make sure they are kept at 90...

So I got the temps of the basking spot to 86 ish so let's hope all the changes make a difference. He is a lot more active than he has been since the changes and explores every inch of the cage but the colour doesn't change. I'm going to try and mist just twice a day by hand with warm water...

In no expert and still new to it all but I was told on here that as an adult they will part shed ad takes slightly longer. My boy is already slowing up on his sheds, last one took just under 2 days for a complete shed. I was also told it's not unusual for them to slow up on their food at this...

We have moved him once and that didn't make a difference I got the natural sunlight tub for the old t8 and it's made the cage so much brighter. I also added a better ficus I had to fill it out more. I added another halogen and the temps went up to 78-80 in the middle of the cage and about 75...

Ok guys so there is still no change in Trevor's colours and mood. It's been 6 weeks since going into his new cage now and nothing I'm doing is making a difference. So the changes I have made are.... 120w halogen hanging from about 10" from the top mesh so it doesn't make it too hot to...

Well I wouldn't know what the comparisons would be but 75w halogen is fairly high and I imagine you would need an even higher household bulb to compete. Where do you live? I'm in the uk and I use a 120w halogen because anything smaller doesn't get the temps up enough. I even struggle to hit 75...

I agree also Trevor gets fed when I have time i.e. morning or night. Depending I work. Sometimes he won't eat mornings but will at night or vis-versa

You don't want anything that's salted really!
