leos not eating much....

veiledchamlver Mar 10, 2007 11:42 AM

my leos dont seem to eat as much as i see other people feeding their leos. they eat maybe 3-6 leos every other day. and only my female will eat mealies and she may eat 4-5 every few days. is there anything i can do to stimulate their appetites. should i try tong feeding? my male doesnt seem to like hunting the crickets but if i hold one between my finger tips he gets more interested but only ends up licking it and falling back. any suggestions? also i dont know if this helps but they dont defecate every day like i read they are supposed to. every other day maybe even 3 days. sorry for the long post

Im sorry, I have no suggestions but I just wanted to say that your geckos look very healthy and good looking so your doing something right.

When they get older they will slow down and eat sifnificantly less.
