How much are they eating?

[thegrandpoohbah]

I have 3 female yearlings in my tank. I feed them mealworms every night and they usually eat about 12. Question is, how do I make sure they are all eating? I can't really sit there all night and watch them. Is approx. 4 worms each per day enough for them?

Depending on there size. I feed some hatchling I have that are 15-25 grams 12-16 mealworms a day. Some times there is 1-4 lleft over sometimes not. The left overs get feed to my boxturtles.

Yeah, it all depends on their size, how much they feel like eating in one sitting, etc... but if they are leaving nice, healthy-looking poos everyday, you know they're eating

there really is no way to tell if they are all getting 4...It might be best to put them in 3 little seperate containers or something. then they wouldnt be bullying ea. other either
