I wanted to make sure that Dilly ate enough to recover from her first clutch, but she's doing great so it's time to slim her chubby tail down a little! She's roughly 7.5 months old, her diet has been fairly stable for quite a while. She gets a hard shell and a soft worm every day, about 60/40 ratio but no squishy treats till she finishes the dreaded crunchy ones. Crunchy feeders are either 6-8 medium crix, 3-4 medium/smallish Dubia, 4 large supers, or 10 mealworms. Squishy treats are either 3-4 waxworms, 2-3 medium hornworms, or 6-8 BSFL. Calcium on all crunchy bugs, calcium w/ d3 and vitamins alternate on Sunday's crunchy bugs. Should I lessen daily feedings or go to every other day? If I should go to every other day, is it OK for her to get less calcium because of the dropped days? Also, she's exceptionally lazy. She goes from her sleeping spot, to her basking spot, to her food dish, and to her dripper but doesn't wander around much. In comparison, little foot is frequently climbing around. I have a ficus tree for out of enclosure time, but she wanders long enough to find a branch she like and stays there. Her grip is nice and firm. Could her lack of exercise be exacerbating the chub?
