I have been doing VERY regular feedings for my recent morph A. opacum. They have reached a size that i would call them juvs. What changes should i make in their diet to best fascilitate growth and nutrition? They have been fed a staple of garden worm tips and quarters, flightless fruit flies, whiteworms(recently), and a sparse, but effective supplementing with very small crickets.
I was wondering if the feedings should become less regular, or even include other food prey. I may give them waxies, but not until they are a good bit bigger (I know waxworms are fattty additions, but i think they benefit an otherwise good diet; but only offered once a month at best). Has anyone tried Pheonix worms with A. opacum? I am very intested in this food prey, so if anyone has experience with them, give me a positive, or negative testimonial.
if you want to see the opacum, check out my album(s) here:

and album 2:

The A. opacum are in the first link. The rest I just find an excuse to share when I can...lol!
Please let me know what is best..I don't want to over-feed, or feed too little while they are still maturing. My "Thank You's".
