Dusting every meal with nutrabol will help a little. Roaches are also good for upping their weight as well as ONE waxworm meal every 2 weeks. What age is the Leo you are wnating to breed?

I'm not a fan of waxworms. They are all fat. If you are trying to get bigger, stronger, healthier, you do not eat pizza. You eat lots of healthy foods.

The occasional pinkie, as well as more of the same foods you normally offer are a better option. Pinkies, while having fat, are loaded with vitamins, minerals, etc (from the organs and bones).

Silkworms, hornworms, roaches of all kinds, gutloaded crickets super and mealworms, these are what you want.
