Nightcrawlers... How many

[demeteraurion]

Well until my dubia roaches get here Saturday I've been feeding Rupert nightcrawlers. I have to pretty much force feed him though because he refuses to eat, but he will eat the worm once it gets in his mouth. Another reason I have to place them in his mouth is because they die before I can even get them to him, because I have to cut them and then the Vitadust.

Just wondering how many/much I should be feeding him, he fits easily in the palm of my hand. I have been feeding him half a worm every other day. I'd like to feed him now because I need to make sure he isn't developing MBD by using this Vitamin dust, I didn't use it last time I fed him because its so hard to dust worms! The last time he ate was yesterday and he hasn't gone to the bathroom since he's had about 2 and half worms, he isnt impacted though as he has been on paper towels for 10 days.

Oops I meant 1 and a half worms above, wouldn't let me edit.

I say this about everything, but it works really well. Feed him as many nightcrawlers as he can eat in 15 minutes, 2-3 times per week.
