if it's a young leo then I'd feed him every day not every other day ~ make sure the livefood is the right size for him... too small and he'll ignore it and too big and it could cause him problems........ would definately stop giving him waxworms though ~ at most they're only supposed to be an occasional treat as they can be addictive to leos and if fed to much could contribute to the leo becoming obese and running the risk of Fatty Liver Disease

it depends on the temperatures of where they are Kept Jon ... all my mealworms (apart from those being gutloaded for feeding) are kept in the fridge to slow them down.
Many leos won't eat the beetles as they excude a foul scent/liquid as a defense mechanism
