can millies get plumper?

[Gillian]

Hi all,
I was noticing something today with my desert yellows and my AGB; they're getting plumper, especially the AGB. Is this possible? Is it also possible for them to get too fat? What ways are there I can tell?
Thanks...
Peace,
Gillian

Just plain fat or......................

just getting larger all together.
I know some millies have a pretty good
diameter. I saw some GAM's at a show that
were almost a foot long and pretty close to
2 inches thick! They looked more like a
snake than a bug!:}

What do you feed them?
and how often?:}

sunny,
Thanks to everyone here, i figured out a workable diet. i basically mixed some fruits, and added some bearded dragon food to it, and froze it. as i need it, i chip off what's needed, then after its thawed, mix it with chopped veggies. occasionally, I'll mix a piece of kibble in, but not too often,as this encourages mites. I mix a bit of peanut butter in, also..
Peace,
Gillian

Glad to here that you figured it out:}
I also read, somewhere that they are not suppose
to have any cabbage. It has something to do with
their ability to absorb vitamins
