This is Grif's second one he's ever had his entire life. I was goin to feed him one or two a week to try and bulk him back up. I also feed him one or two wax worms everyday to every other day. Wax worms are high in fat too but are tiny and its hard to force feed them to him. He hates my forcepts so I use my fingers. He never bites me or my fiance. Doesn't even hiss or act threatened by us. If he gets grumpy hell puff uup with air and that's it.I know you're supposed to feed them rodents sparingly be cause of making them obese and causeing them health problems with it, but ifigure it won't hurt as long as I don't let him get that fat. He seems to like them.
