just close your eyes and imagine the other 20 crickets went down his mouth. at 3 months 6-8 crickets and 2 silks is a good meal.

LOL I tried that, then I see all of these threads on here that there 2-4 month old chams are eating like 20 crickets a day

If your baby is small and lots of young panthers are then that's not bad. Try some tiny hornworns. They go for the green and that will put some weight on him.

they are all different. i have two girls from the same clutch and both have different sized appetites.
