So I have always seen posts of people saying how their baby chams eat ridiculous amounts of food and always wondered wth people are talking about. in the past think most my little guy ate was averaging maybe 12 crickets, 4 small phoenix worms throughout the day. past 2/3 days has eaten 20+ crickets some phoenix worms and/or fruitflies.

today probably had 15 crickets 10 fruitflies and 5 phoenix worms and will probably offer him food again in an hour. hes almost 4 months old and has had 2 sheds this month

i sometimes lose count what he actually eats i can fee 2-5 times a day. i still have my phoenix worms from the expo that i picked up from recorp. you can check them out. i think my brother and I are going to send off a huge order (silks and eggs, wax, butter, phoenix, crickets. if its within the next few days I can maybe get you some and meet up.

than hopefully soon place an order with great lake hornworms and try and get breeding going on horns and silks. plus talking to one guy about buying a colony of feeders .

we have 6 box turtles 2 hermanns tortoises like 10 leopard geckos and my cham to feed
