how much should he/she eat?

[Baby Lobie]

So can anyone give me suggestions on how much my baby panther should eat? im feeding him/her fruitflys and dubias... baby loves catching the fruitflys but i dont know if its bad for them to eat too much.. he/she ate about 10 fruitflys today and probably like 4 dubias if not more.. is this too much? baby is 6 weeks old..

As far as I'm aware, the more the they eat the better it is at that age!!! Got any pics???

He/she is very little. I think they should how much they want at that age.

I was told to feed my baby as much as he wants to eat in 2 5 minute feeding sessions a day!!!!

This is what a few ppl have suggested so i think i'll just stick to this.. sounds right since its the same with human babies.. lol.

Let it eat as much as it can within about 5 minutes, 3 times a day.
as much variety of feeder prey choices as possible. At that age, they typicaly can eat fruit flies, bean beetles, baby silkworms, baby stick insects, small terrestrial isopods, aphids, ....

Looks like you have a boy (I'm not expert though )

i posted a thread about the gender.. two threads actually.. and i got different answers! lol.. its ok though.. i kinda see a buldge too but sometimes i think my eyes are lying to me. so im not sure either! (s)he is still pretty small so i'll give it a couple weeks and then take some more pics.

.... and well i cant really use the five minute thing cuz (s)he loves to hunt so i just let the fruitflys home and (s)he'll go crazy trying to find em.. lol. the only thing i feed out of cups is the Dubias.. and those (s)he'll grab one.. leave.. then come back later if nothing else is in there to hunt..

Put in only so many that she can hunt down in 5 minutes, but do this multiple times a day.
