Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
My new veiled doesn't seem to have a big appetite for a baby. I know they said to eat between 15-20 crickets a day and have a big appetite but even though I am putting this many in his cup, he's only eaten 4-5 small crickets everyday he's been fed.
