HiTobey
I usually give it to them until they seem full. Big help huh! Maybe 1/4 tsp
or so. It also depends on how big it is. I know that some herpers keep
their cilies on it for ever but I use both crickets and the baby food. Mine
have so far refused all other bugs. I will try bigger moths in the spring.

> Well, I bought a small glass "eye" dropper lastnight and fed Sebastian (my
Rhacodactylus Ciliatus) some baby food. He was not thrilled with the
process and squirmed quite a bit. When he finally settled, I gently rubbed
a little on his lips, and he shook his head flinging it on me, but
eventually he did begin to lick. He ended up eating about a whole dropper
full, but then he would not take anymore. How much baby food is normal for
him to eat in one meal? How long should I continue to "hand feed" him? How
often should he be eating baby food versus crickets or worms? I would like
to feed him some moths as I saw some of you do from earlier posts, but where
would I get them? I can't really order large quantities of "feeders" from
anywhere as he is the only R. Ciliatus that I have.
