Feeding amount

[mxw0rld]

We have a mixed batch right now 1/2"-1" (some a little bigger and smaller). And yes her belly is huge lol. I only give 20-25 at a time now but since she hasn't been eating great we went ahead and gave extras to make up for missed meals.

I don't blame you! As long as she's eating them I would have done the same thing and kept feeding her.

She also had 2 hornworms today but they are super small. We are letting them grow some before we feed anymore

Yup! Look at their mouths. Creepy little *******'s!

They are so teeny tiny you can't see their mouth. We didn't know they would be this small when we ordered them.

I haven't seen the small ones. I could probably handle the small ones but those big ones. No way nope. Not for me! Lol

 

[RaeAnn]

Haha! Yes she is.
We got the hornworms bc we are going to the beach Sat. woot woot! Well my sister (who knows nothing about beardies) will be baby sitting for us. We made a care sheet for her and decided to get these and have her feed her 1-2 a day. This way we will know she's hydrated since we don't trust her giving Spyra a bath

Thank you for showing me those. I might just order some of those baby ones. We're they expensive?

We will be gone for 5 days I'm excited but worried about my girl I'm just hoping my hard headed sister will go by the chart! She tends to think she knows how to do things even when she doesn't lol.

We got them from a vendor on Amazon for about 13bucks for 30 worms. I'll be honest though I didn't know they would be this small. If they weren't so brightly colored I doubt Spyra would even touch them. We have them near her enclosure to get some of the heat from her heat lamp so they will grow a little more hopefully.

That sounds amazing! I would love to go on a holiday! I have a feeling you are going to be worrying every minute of every day! Will your sister come and stay there?

Can you feed hornworms the greens? I know nothing about them. Guess I need to check them out. I always assumed you had to get them when they were already big and nasty! Lol

 

[Maddie]

No you don't need to feed them anything but the food they come with. Which is already in their "habitat".

They do grow fast if you keep them warm too, so hopefully we can keep them alive and get them up to size.
My sister lives about an hour and a half away so we will be taking Spyra to her house. She has a 20gallon tank which isn't good I know but I'm hoping it will be okay for 4nights. We took Spyra there and stayed the weekend just to see how shed do and prepare for the trip ahead of time. She seemed to do great. Still ate like a horse and basked/played.
We would take her set up now but it's so heavy. I'm just really hoping it goes well :/
