Default has anyone got aone month old leo? - 29-06-2008, 07:11 PM

hi, i was just wondering whether any of you have a one month old leo and if so, how much do you feed it?
Angel is eating 5 crickets every evening now and im sure she would eat more, but dont want to over do it, any advice?
Oh, and as mentioned in my previous post, she is tiny and tail less so im really pleased she's eating well and want to give her what she needs and not under feed her

She will not be interested in food when she's full up so if she wants more after she's eaten 5, give it to her. She is very young and will need lots of food so keeping a dish of mealworms in the tank for whenever she needs a snack is a good idea, it's what I do for Elvis. I think he's about 2-3 months now so wouldn't have been much older than Angel when I got him.

hatchlings tend to eat about 10-15 small crickets in 30 mins if there are any left over after this time they should be removed.
