Default How often? - 15-10-2010, 01:00 PM

Hi guys

Exactly how often should I feed my 4 month old male Leopard?

I'm getting conflicting stories from the breeder, when I picked him up he said just give him 6-7 mealworms every 2 days, then he changed his mind and said I should just leave some in his bowl all the time.

Last night he had 6 then kept going back to his empty bowl looking for more. Either he was still hungry or is just greedy!

I don't want to overfeed him, but then again I don't want to be cruel and not give him enough. I feel well cruel making him go a full day without any!

He also has crickets but just as a treat once or twice a fortnight, thats how he was brought up by the breeder.

So how many mealies and how often please?

Cheers

Paul

Tell you what, doesn't matter I'll just figure it out myself.

I am a member of loads of different forums and never yet have I been ignored the way I have here.

Thanks for nothing...
