what to feed when molting.

Post by kyle » Sat Jul 04, 2015 6:34 pm

I'm a little bit confused about feeding my goulds during their molt. I have 6 juveniles about 3 months old and 3 adults all seem to be in a gradual molt. My question is while molting should they be on an seed only diet? They are still eating the egg food, sprouted seeds and vegetables. Could that slowdown or affect the molting?

During the molt they next extra protein, hard boiled eggs are great at this time.
