quick waxworm question

kyle_gecko Oct 22, 2003 12:49 AM

i was wondering if it is possible to feed leos only wax worms if you heavy coat them with pure celcium or and a multi-vit powder? and maybe because they are alot of fat i could only feed them a few daily or every other day..

Asking this cause i have 2 albinos that are very picky eaters the only thing that i have actully seen them eat is wax worms (only fed them a few so i dont get them addicted)

thanks

kyle

They're not entire reliable either, so you have to rely on proper gutloading for the leos to get the bulk of their nutrients.

What have you tried feeing your albinos so far?

Maybe they haven't had enough time to adjust to their new environment yet.e

Hi Kyle

If you got them from a breeder, why don't you get in contact with them and see what they where feeding them at there place.

Take Care, TLB

all his were fed on small mealworms...the normal i got from him eats great, anything i put in there it will eat. The albinos still have fat tails so not that worried yet, but there sides are starting to slim down.
