Full size crickets

[Edwaldo23]

Hey gang,

I had a question about full size crickets and when they become the default. I have a veiled cham approx 4 months old. When I first had her for about a week all the local stores had were pretty big crickets. I made due with them as I had no choice. I was taking the odd leg off etc to help Lucy get them down.

Since then I stocked up on small crickets and mid sized and she seems to be fine with either as Ill put a few of each in when feeding.

My question is when can the larger crickets be the normal everyday feeder? Lucy has no issues taking them down but I dont wanna offer something that is hard to digest and may cause issues.

Thanks,
Eddie

Social,
I noticed you said to feed a juvenile every other day. Is this what you do for Panthers as well? I've noticed my Panther (just at 6 mo of age) is starting to relax his appetite a bit.
