i have read the flchams pygmy care sheet and it says r. brevs should eat about 3 appropriately sized crickets per feeding (every other day)
my guy can eat 6 or more if i let him (around 1/4-3/8 in crix) and his belly looks like a balloon
he was the lone survivor of a group of 4 and i couldnt get the others to eat which was kinda my fault because i only had fruit flys for the 1st week of having them and when i released the flys they just disappear
im positive they were wc and possibly mixed species
his record is 10 crix (hes the guy in my avatar)
 
I would love to see your little piggy, but avatars are kind of small. Any chance you could post it as a pic?

and im not sure what sex.. supposedly got a 1.3 group now down to 0.0.1 lol
 
parasites probably taking out all the nutrition from the crickets, leaving him with none and hungry =(
just give him what he needs. its not like all pygmys are gunna eat the same amount anyway.
