: ok....ive been scrolling through messages to see if i can find out just how many crickets and mealworms they are supposed to be eating and how often?is it two mealworms and 3 crickets twice a week if we are giving them bourbons modified leadbeaters diet????my casey seems to like the crickets and mealworms but i know the mealworms are high in fat and shes not a real big eater yet...so i gave her 1 and 1 yesterday...she didnt seem to want two of each ? and one more question....she seem s to like to nibble at me for some reason...like if she doesnt want to go back in her cage and i want her to...or if im lying on my bed and shes down at my feet she bites my toes...i know you arent spposed to pull away...but then again...its startling she doesnt hurt me..theyre kind of like love bites! but should i do something?or justlet it go?..thanks kirsten

thanks for all the useful info...being a new sg owner things are a little more complicated....this whole diet thing is confusing me....i am feeding her the leadbeaters diet now and i will start to feed her more crickets and mealworms now that i know im not overdoing it .
