How much should he be eating??

[ZuggieTheCham]

Zuggies getting big now as u all know he's around 7 months old now, how much should he be eating?? I was told to cut his food down as i was feeding him around 6 medium silks a day and sometimes a few banana roaches here and there and some waxworm moths just as treats, he has been through 10 medium silks in one day before! He's a right fatty lol!!! I've got some locust here too for him, can someone tell me a nice staple feeding schedule? As in how many silks a day locust a day,banana roaches and treats, should i skip a day? I just wanna know as Zuggie loves his food and I don't want to be underfeeding him or overfeeding! I don't want an obese Cham either lol just want to know whats enough? Thankyouuu

For my male ambilobe I usually feed him 6-8 large cricks a day and maybe some soft bodies worms 1-2 also if u give him more like 10-14 then you should skip a day in between

How old is your cham?? And i got told to cut it down to like 2 a day! He's looking at me asif to say why u just giving me 2 !!!! Lol so i could feed him around 6 silk worms or locust a day (medium) with a few banana roaches say (medium) and then skip a day then the same? That sounds okay to me i wont feel like I'm starving him then lol!

I heard you should start slowing down their food intake at about 9 months

The ambilobe I'm talking about is 1 year old . And yes you should slow his eating after 9 months.... And yes that sounds like an okay feeding schedule they tend to over eat I u just keep feeding him small amounts but if u do 1 large amount and then don't feed the next day and then the day after that another large amount they tend to not over eat and seem to stop hunting after they are full but that's just my opinion

Agh right but Too what? If I'm giving him medium feeders then how many is enough? Ive just looked at his birth certificate and it says when i got him he was 2 months old, and I've had him six months now so that means he's around 8 months old more like! So if thats the case should i cut his food down now and what too?
