Fattening tails

blazeyoungblood Oct 06, 2003 08:27 PM

What's the best way to fatten my leo back up? One of my female's tail, who just laid eggs, is getting pretty skinny. It's still slightly fatter than the base, but not nearly as fat as it was, any help would be appreciated.

If she is in a laying egg way (WoW this is late for that!) then there is not a whole lot you can do except feed her very well. Pinkies can help, but if she is healthy, she will be fine and will plump up again after the egg laying is done. Don't sweat it now, things are normal.

Waxworms, don't do it.

The best thing to do is just keep feeding well gut loaded crix and mealies and enjoy the babies.
