Got Hades to hand feed today!

Pretty excited. Hes about 3 months old and now will eat crickets from my fingers. Im wondering if i should go to medium crickets. He eats like 10 of the tiny ones that are a little bigger than pin head size.

Congrats! I increased the size of the crickets at about 4 months I think. Just compare it to the size of his mouth. Nothing wider than the space in between the eyes. Nothing longer than his mouth.

Nice! Just be careful, if the crickets are to big he won't eat them. At 3months my guy was eating 1/4inch crickets.

Glad he is eating from your hand. Isn't that exciting?
As a general guide, you can feed him crickets as big as the distance between his eye. Before I shipped him, he was eating 1/4 inch crickets.
