He's avoiding crickets and mantis at the moment. He likes the worms, but how many is a good amount for a 4 month old Panther? Today, I gave him 5 silks, 2 supers, 1 butterworm. I ordered small butterworms from Mulberry Farms, but they are too big for him. Since they are worms I decided what the heck. Well, he shot at it and ate it no problem, but it took him longer to chew and such. I have my supers and butters covered with Flukers Calcium Diet and gave them apples and collard greens.

Roach (0.o)
Butterworm (0.o)
Superworm (every other day? 2-3)
Silkworm (every day 3)?
Cricket (10-15)
BB fly (one a day)
Mantis (never! haha)

btw: I'm pissed we can't breed butterworms in America! Does anyone have relatives in Chile that will send +100 plus? They are actually pretty damn cute for a worm and they are fluffly? But, noo we have nasty mealworms.

They are a pest. We dont want it to end up like all these invasives!

I personally dont think the flukers is enough of a gutload to use alone (for the dry portion.) adding some bee pollen and spirulina would make it better. When you use a variety of greens and veggies you are offering a variety of nutrients and vitamins, so using a different veggie every week would be a good idea.

As for the amount, you just have to use a bit of common sense/logic as far as sizes go. An easy way to feed a youngster is to let him eat for 5 minutes and then take away whatever he didn't eat.
