How many Crickets a day

[jtesagain625]

My veiled is approx 6-7 months old. Healthy. Good eater. I give him 10-12 (on the smaller side) crickets a day. Should I be giving him crickets every other day? Or can I continue feeding him every day ?

It depends on his size. Please post a picture and I can better tell you if it's time to cut back on the feedings. More importantly you need to be feeing him a large variety of well gut loaded feeders and not just crickets. Try some roaches and some worms. I bet he'd love some supers, silks, horns and Butter worms. You can also feed moths, flies, stick bugs and mantis.

I'll get a new picture up soon. I've been giving fruits to him recently as well. He hates superworms and mealworms. Waxworms I've given him, but not too often, as I've been told they're just a treat. I also threw a few moths in his enclosure and fruit flies get in there as well. As for roaches n other exotic bugs, not too easy to find locally. Don't wanna buy 50+ and find out he doesn't like em.
