dead or aliive when feeding. I would think dead but ive seen them fed alive. what do you guys usually do?

Frozens better than live, the process helps in getting rid of parasites and diseases.

I have never got a Leo to eat dead but I dont do it offten, I think my oldest beeing close to 17 was only fed about 6 of them in the whole 17 years I had him.

yea that's what i was wondering, how would i get the attention of my leo's and make them want to eat one

Ones that are hand fed will do it. So I guess its not impossible.

Alive. Although if they die on the way home I feed them anyways

do your leo's ever have a hard time eating them when they are alive or ever refuse to eat them if they are still alive and moving a lot?

untill recently i never heard of feeding leos pinkies? i had read somewhere that they are harder to digest? whats the benifit?

An abundance of nutrients, but is to much as a staple.

What age or how big must a leo be to start eating pinkies??

1 year, and the smaller the better. Its allways best to feed as many small items as they want rather than 1 item that is to big.

Make sure its smaller than the LEo's head.
