Having trouble with temperature

[GrifTheGreat]

Oh, ok, I didn't know they had adhesive. Would I need a solid black background or something plain or would a patterned fabric work?

Right now, during the day, the temperature is holding at 80ish with the lights on so I should be fine until I can get to the pet store.

He also ate his first cricket! He had it before I could even get back to the front of the cage to watch.

Again, thanks for the help C: Also, your autocorrect is amusing.

You're welcome.

A dark background is best. My auto correct is very annoying.

Hey, another question. How much should I be feeding my little guy? I've been giving him one large cricket a day, dusted one with calcium supplement, but if I accidentally drop two in he eats them both just fine. I don't want him to starve! ;-;

Rule of thumb for babies. Feed them crickets that are no larger than the distance between their eyes. They can become impacted from not being able to digest the adult cricket heads. 5 or 6 small crickets per night is fine.

Ah, ok, I'll let him finish off this batch of crickets and buy small ones next time ;o;

Also, I'm getting little spots of fluffy white..fungus? Do those happen because of the wetness or are those moldy poop spots?

That is moldy poop. Remove it as soon as you see it. Also when he moves holes check the hole because more than likely he popped in it and has moved to avoid it.

Impaction is a serious problem. if your Pacman becomes impacted he can die. It may be best to not feed him anymore large crickets.

Yep, I bought a meatballer to remove it n__n But now I know he's pooping!

fff ok, can I throw the crickets outside or will it devastate my local ecosystem or something?

If they're the regular Brown American crickets you can let them go. If they're those dark Jamaican field cricket then no. More than likely they're the American ones. The Jamaican crickets are aggressive and bite.
