I've read not to feed sulcatas everyday. I feed my 6 month old everyday. Does anyone know is this overfeeding?

Hi Cindy:

In my opinion, babies should be fed every day. Once in a great while I will skip a day merely because I've run out of food and haven't made it to the store. I don't think there's any harm in putting food in front of them every day.

I feed mine everyday and I have skipped a day here and there because of a crazy schedule but they have access to graze so its not a big deal.

Mine have access to grazing but they love an additional meal from me each day (sometimes two times :p )...I do however skip a day or two to make sure that they graze, as it provides not only a bit of balance in their diet but also creates walking for exercise and also causes use of their head/jaw in a different way than just feeding, the grazing gives good cause to muscle growth on their head ...which is important, in my opinion. :D
