I just bought my rosie (Belleza) last weekend, and he already ate at the pet store. I then fed him again yesterday (4 medium-sized crickets). Man, I never saw crickets disappear more quickly! The poor little bugger was hungry, I assume!

But, from what I understand, that should be about the max amount of crics per week, no? So, what I'm getting at is - no matter how "hungry" Belleza may seem, I def should not overfeed.

I would appreciate more input.

Thanks!

i feed my adult female G. rosea the equiv of about 1 medium cricket a week. this maintains a quite healthy sized butt

whati actually feed her is an adult lobster roach every 1-3 weeks, but she was recently off feed for a month or 6 weeks, just recently started eating again
