Gaining Weight for Breeding

Beardiekid14 Aug 22, 2003 12:10 AM

I have a patternless leo who is about 45g and I am trying to get her to 50g but she just seemed to stop gaining weight. Dont get me wrong she is healthy and has a nice big tail but I have been feeding her mealworms for awhile now and she still isnt getting big enough. How do I get her to gain that 5g of weight? I appreciate everyones help.

if she wont gain any more weight, 45g is good enough.

You could try feeding her a pinky, but 45g sounds like an appropriate weight for breeding. Good luck with the breeding.
