What size should I give my pygmy

[Fool]

His full grown I don't know if to feed him 1/4 or 3/8 crickets I'm thinking 3/8 but the pet store said fruit flies but they seem to small for him I know he can eat bigger but in less quantity what do you think is 3/8 to big?

When I had mine, I gave them 1/4. Sometimes, they would get some in between, or on the bigger side, but 1/4 worked for me

ok thank you just needed some reassurance

I give mine 1/4 too. Getting them that small also lets them grow a little before they're too big to use. Right now my last batch has grown to 3/8 and they're too big for them. I don't use fruit flies because the top of the pygmy viv is screen and I'd have flies everywhere...the tiny crickets work great though!

I feed 1/8", but I buy them in big lots so they grow a bit by the time they're done. My Werner's gets 3/8". I'm kind of a loser (ok, not kind of), as I feed all my chams fairly small feeders because I'm afraid they'll choke. You all can stop rolling your eyes now LOL

I take all my feeders, put them in a food processer, mix untill blended smooth. Then spoon them on crackers and serve with a fine red wine to my babies!!!!!

Hmmm... I'd try that but I'd worry the crackers would be too dry and they'd choke on the crumb bits because they'd be a little tipsy from the wine.

You're taking a big risk!
