Mine always have mealworms in their bowls at all times. I want them to have the option to eat whenever they want, and the weight gain I've seen in them this way is just great. They never seemed to be gaining very much on crickets every other day, but with the mealies the change has deffinately been for the best. They look very healthy now.
I used to try feeding them every day but sometimes id be sat there trying to get them to eat while they were more interested in climbing on me.
So now i do every other day unless they dont want to eat on food day and then i will try every day until they eat. Daisy can be a picky eater and not want worms if shes had roaches a previous mealtime cos shes a little madam hehe. She also wont eat something unless its practically kicking and screaming and trying to run away, shes vicious!!
I wish i could just leave them food in a dish all the time but i think i have spoiled them as they will only eat when i drop the food items in 1 at a time until they had enough.
