whats a good 2nd foor for baby panthers? Fruit flys maybe? went to one place they didnt have a culture and has been backordered for about a mnth if i remember correctly. Guess its online ordering. Would it be good to get some silkies while at it... eggs and chow so I can feed small worms instead of full grown ones?

Its odd I know that other people on here have had sucess with feeding babies silk worms.
But my baby-ish panthers dont seem to understand that silkies are food. They walk all over them and some times just stand on them LOL!
But if you can get them to eat them when their a bit bigger, I dont think baby baby panthers could???, that would be a great part of their diet.

k worth a try then with small silkies... gotta pick some fruit flys up and see if he likes those. do you dust flys or no? He seems to like to look at crix but takes him all day to maybe get down 6 or so, not EXCATLY sure how old he is but hes small plus its only the 3rd day.

Yea sometimes itll take a couple days after getting them for them to start noming with full force. My babies eat any where from 10-20ish crickets a day.
Ive been told to dust the flies though I dont use them often they use to get out of the bin but I just found out to keep them from getting out of the bin (if your using one) is to use smooth packing tape.

Yeah I saw that.... good thing I always have a rool of that.. just another thing I dont have to stop and buy. Figured its worth trying to vary Slices diet anyways.
Waste is brown with white on the end.
didnt realize they were in socal... prolly get some on my next day off or something. Thanks
NM Falbrok is and hour and a half away.. maybe next time in in oceanside might go buy there, guess online it'll have to be lol.
K thanks, so far so good, foind more all dark with white on the end... think Slice is finally settling in... seems much more active and activly hunting down food instead waiting for it to come to him/her
Yeah was just going to order online for feeders, Yeah still waiting for Slice to give me a good side shot lol. Specially sicne my phone doesnt really fit into the foliage very well, GF was supposed to bring her camera up from the car since I got him but ofcoarse still not here lol.

haha, its hilarious when they put their hands in the air. awesome pictures! I wanted a baby so bad but decided with the enclosure I had already built an adult was smarter for me.
enjoy your time with the lil guy! he looks awesome. looks like a little blue is showing in that last outdoor picture

Yeah I built my enclsure for a juvy, and ended up with a baby, cup feeding mostly with a few free ranging crix.
Yeah some blue/green is showing on the head and a hint/tint of color along back but just hardly noticable
