The past couple weeks I have made a very interesting observation on Leopard Gecko feeding. I read a lot of posts lately about how much how often and figured I would play with this. I usually feed every 4 days and have been doing this for some time with great growth and health results. I changed to feeding as much as they would eat every day and here are my results. Normally they take 6-7 Supper Meal worms every 4 days, Every day they would only take one or 2 of these. If I fed Kirmy a pinkie she would not feed for another 3-4 day after that. The biggest thing I found out is today was weighing day and I found both of them have dropped about .5g since this feeding every day schedule started. I am now putting them back on the every 4 day schedule and my bet is they will gain that weight back.
