[bookac]

[PatsyB]

Well hello there Rango! Aren't you just the cutest

 

[bookac]

Well hello there Rango! Aren't you just the cutest

Thanks ! I just cant get enough of that small head watching around, and watching me

I am a bit worried that he is to small, but he had a breakfest this morning, 4 B.Lateralis roaches, in size of his length beetween his eyes..

I will try tomorow to offer him a veggie..

Awe he's tiny but what a cutie!! At his age and size don't be surprised if he doesn't eat the veggies/greens just always offer them, at this stage he will be just growing up a storm so bugs will be the key (feed the roaches the greens/veggies that way he's getting the goodies because they are eating them and he's eating the roaches that's what I do as their gi tract is very long so the nutrients stay in them longer)

Thanks, I am feeding my roaches with carrots, should I try something else ?

I feed my roaches the the same veggies/greens that I feed to Izzy so they get a little bowl of that, along with the roach chow I mix up.

Thanks again, i will do that.. But i am guessing that if i feed my roaches with vegie full with calcium, i will have to seprate my colonies because i am feeding my tarantulas with them aswell..

Yea what I do is I have my weekly feeders in a 10gal that I give the greens to my main colony is in the basement those just get the normal stuff chow, water crystals and the oranges..

Whenever...you can start him in the bathroom sink just enough water up to his elbows and never leave him un attended. I started Izzy out in the bathroom sink and now she get's her bath in the kitchen sink (we have no tub)

 

[Candybugs]

Such a cutie. I melt for babies

 

[Candybugs]

I think babies need a little higher temperatures than bigger ones.

Do tarantulas not need calcium? I don't know anything about them that's why I asked. I feed my crickets and supers the salad items for my beardie too and I also use the same feeders for my frogs and haven't had any issues.

Me to How long before he is grown to noticable size ?

 

[PatsyB]

They grow pretty fast. I would say you are going to notice a different in few months. As mine got bigger, because I was with them all the time, I didn't always notice how much they were growing. People would tell me how big they got and and I didn't see what they were talking about LOL!
