Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
I am worried about my little guys feeding habits. Ive only had him for a few days but the first day he ate 4 crickets via feeding with tongs. Next day i let them roam ad libitum and he ate approx 3. the next day i wanted a little more consistancy so I added a feeding bucket near his favorite spot. He did notice it and ate a cricket out of the bucket. but he only ate that one for the day. Due to his low age should I be worried about how many hes eating or do any changes to how he is fed?
