Thank you Krystal. So basically it is just the fat issue I need to watch out for. Sometimes I'll feed them as a replacement meal. Like if they don't have the size crickets I need I'll get her a pinky or two and search for crickets the next day. She's slimmer than about 60% of the leopards I see, eats about 20 large crickets a week, and approx one pinkie a week. Since I don't feed worms, I've tried but I truly have a debilitating fear of worms that has kept me up at night wondering if they've escaped, I would like to actually incorporate more mice in her diet, one every 5 days, or about 6/month. I want to get her weight up and since I don't feed worms she doesn't get much of a fat source from the crickets. I figure the pinkies are easier and she loves them and I'm not freakishly terrified of them....everyone's happy.
