I have had 3, approximately 6 month old Burmese stars for a couple of weeks now. They are amazing little torts that I have already fallen in love with. The thing is, I can't believe how much they have been eating. I am hoping someone can give me an idea about how to figure out how much food to give them.
Do I just give them as much as they will eat? I give them a huge pile of food every morning that seems like WAY too much for them to ever finish, but they always do. I have started giving them more most afternoons, and they eat that too. I give them spring mix every day, and I alternate what I mix with it between Mazuri, the red Marion tort diet, and opuntia. Their favorite is definitely the spring mix, but they eat the rest too.
I know this is a real moron type question, but I never had this issue with my leopards. They eat a certain amount, then they're done. I just can't seem to give these new guys enough to satisfy them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
