Promoting Baby Growth

I have two Parsonii Cristifer babies, hatched July of 2018. I have one that is now 3 grams and the other is only 1.5. Any tips on bulking up my little tyke? Thanks!

what you feed them with?

Although I don't keep them, I have seen a lot of "late bloomers" that will take some time to catch up size wise. When they do they are not smaller than normal.

I feed crickets, bean beetles, and want to feed dubia but I worry they may choke on them.

Just out of curiosity, are these the $200 C. parsonii cristifer babies from Backwater Reptiles? I'd be interested to see pics of them!

You do have them housed separately right?

The smallest dubia size will probably work.

Waxworms and silkworms are good as well, in moderation.

They like things that fly. I’d deffinately add fruit flies and black soidier flies to the menu.

They actually never ate the silks I offered them! But they had previously gotten flies. They hit a growth spurt though! Memphis is 6g and Denver is 4g!

Yes, they are Backwater Babies! Backwater definitely lived up to its poor reputation however. They came to me covered in burns at only two weeks old. However, with some round the clock care and TLC my babies are strong and healthy! This is what they look like today

I will definitely look into BSF! They haven't had those yet. Thank you jann!

The bsfl lovvvveeee any kind of squash, collard green stalks, carrots. They are actually GREAT for gutloading. They eat pretty quick. My gliders, bearded dragon, and chameleons all love them. And then its a bonus when they turn to flies. you can buy super small sizes and they really dont grow too fast.
