Hi everyone
Just wondered if anyone could offer some advice on this.
My Mexican Red Knee of approx 9-12 months of age has molted for the first time with me. This was about 2 months ago. Prior to this he was very docile - I mean for about 6 months, and I could drop crickets in and he would take his time and maybe eat them if he wanted but no rush.
Now I just have to drop one in and he pounces! I nearly jumped out of my skin when he first did it as was not expected!!! I am feeding him approx 3 crickets a week - should I be feeding him more than this for a while after molting- is that why he is pouncing on his food now or is it just because he has grown and feels like 'the man!'!!??? Any advice greatly appreciated!!
( also I know before when I posted a lot of people thought he could be a she - well the bit I needed on the molt was the only bit that did not come off in tact so I am still none the wiser!!
Many Thanks!
