Cricket sizes

[Alexdoe]

Im sure his has been asked a million tImes but i cant find the thread.

My cham is about 3 months old. Right now im feeding him small crickets. He devours them. Hardly has to chew. Would medium crickets be too big?

The general rule of thumb is, don't feed them anything bigger than the space between their eyes. The rule can be bent a bit for softer feeders like silkworms and hornworms, usually, but I'm not sure about crickets. Do you have a picture of your little guy?

Yes i do. Here it is. Thanks for your advice!

I don't see medium sized crickets being an issue for him. He looks about the size that my cham was when I got her and I was quick to upgrade her from small to medium crickets because she was eating the small ones like they were crumbs lol.

I moved to mediums pretty quick too, but I stayed there. No large loud crickets for me.

Haha thats exactly my problem. I went through 100 small crickets in a few days lmao. Like i said he doesnt even chew them. I figure medium would be okay. Probably more fun/rewarding for him to hunt anyway. Plus they wont fit under my water collection bin at the bottom like the small ones do
