Heres one of our new brevicaudatus females. One of the males is a bit thin, any one have any tips for fattening him up ? we were thinking of removing him to a seperate tank for feeding, do you think this is a viable option?

Nice cham Goose, you could put him in a little tank on his own then you can monitor his feeding, bearing in mind the males do tend to be slimmer than the females Very Happy females are much rounder in shape, if you breed your own waxies you could try him with the tiny babies, hang them from a branch by the thread they produce and that way they move and wiggle more, hope that helps a bit Very Happy

Goose pop yr waxie pupae into a secure tub with some food (honey,vits and bran or wheatabix crushed, mix them all together) some corrugated paper and kitchen roll put them in a warm dark place and forget about them, it takes a while so be patient, after a good while if you rake about in the food medium you will see tiny honey flavoured waxies mmmmmm Very Happy Good luck Very Happy
