C. crawshayi Q's

[Widowman10]

1st Q: i've read up and found a couple of questions. i've heard if the back legs are thicker than the others, and this means it's a female? when does this become noticeable?
2nd Q: i've also read most only eat once or twice a month? is anyone else's a slow eater? or does it vary, with some being eating machines?
3rd Q: pre-killed food? or live?

thanks in advance

i have three of them .and you can tell the back legs are thicker from a 1/2 inch or smaller,but male and female are like that.one of mine is 2" and does eat a lot.but they are very very slow growers.i have put half a cricket in to feed because i didnt have any pin head crickets.yes they will eat prekilled
