Hey guys,
Im so close to getting my ambanja male, hopefully monday.
Prepared to feed crickets. 2 weeks. My only issue is that My screen that I chose will allow small crickets (1/4") to get through. So I dont want to free range crickets until he is bigger and can eat bigger crickets.
Im planning on hand feeding as many as he will eat before I leave in the morning (7am). I wont be able to feed him again till I get home (5pm). Is it okay for him to go that long without food? What if he doesnt want to eat in the morning? I dont want to starve him. I have heard its better for them not to eat in the evening so they can digest properly.
I would cup feed worms during the day, but he is too small for worms I think? He is only about the length of an index finger. I have made feeder cups with sticks glued up so worms will crawl up the stick and he can shoot them off from there. But I dont want him to choke on a worm.
I have mealworms, hornworms, and butterworms available. They have small ones, but Im afraid they are still to big.
What do you think?
