How many roaches for a baby panther?

[richardschris]

Hello all,
So I have had my new baby panther for a couple days now and I just had a quick question.
How many roaches should my little guy be eating per day. they are about 1/4 inch in size or smaller. right now he'll only eat one or two at a time and then lose interest. Should he be eating more? or is this normal?

What age? one dubia = several crickets of the same size in terms of nutrition. Still it seems way too low if the cham is 3-6 months old. It should be a cricket vacuum at that point, eating 2 dozen(4-6 1" dubia) crickets a day of appropriate size.

You might have to sub with other feeders, since dubia really dont move that much. Mine wouldnt eat them till he was an adult, and then only hand feed.

not sure about the exact age but I would say about 2 months old
