I wouldn’t feed it for a while now that you fed it.

### JW commented on 2025-08-11

Yeah I usually just go once a month for feeding, if even.

That’s good!

Do they like stink bugs, too?

### Elise commented on 2025-09-09

What other bugs have you fed it? Would love to attempt someday.

### JW commented on 2025-09-10

Loads of things
