Is she eating to mutch??

Postby Sonjat » Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:56 pm

Full grown flapneck is eating about 8-10 medium to large crickets a day! I give about 4/5 in the morning and then 4/5 again before i go to work around 12:30. She eats all of them almost immediately when i put them in. I read an adult should be fed only every other day!? But i've also read that ist is ok if she eats every day with what she is contend with?!
What to do regarding the feeding and amount of crickets?? Don't want to over or under feed her!!

Looks fine, i would suggest feed every three days and skip the fourth day.
Just to give it a break won't cause any issues.
