The care is about the same as any other Rhac but on a larger scale. I raised mine up in a 10 gallon and switch over to a 40 gallon. Mine eats the t-rex leachie diet, but you can feed a diet of mixed supplemented babyfood and insects.
good luck

How often should I feed baby food?
And how often crickets? and how many?

Is it possible to raise them purely on crickets, and other livefood? Do they take pinkies?

They will eat pinks when they are big enough. They will eat a diet of only crix, with the occasional offering of babyfood. You can feed them daily if you want, I feed mine every other day. I feed the t-rex leachianus diet exclusively. I don't feed any of my Rhacs live food. You can also feed your leachie a baby food mix diet that is supplemented only. I used to mix one jar of peach, one jar of banana, and one of turkey. To this I would add a pinch of calcium with d3 powder, and a smaller pinch of herptivite. When feeding non-prey diets to Rhacs, I find it better to offer food every 2-3 days. I remove uneaten food the following morning.
good luck

Thanks again. when I get mine it will be a baby, will it be ok if I only fed it every other day? As often I will only be able to do this (hard to explain).
