Eating Habits

buddha04 Dec 14, 2003 11:42 PM

I have two adult leos. They seem to be eating a lot less in the winter since it's much colder now in So. Cal. (Although I don't recall this occuring last winter.) They look healthy (good weight and colors) and have nice fat tails. Just a lot less active than before. Is this some sort of hibernation? Should I be worried?

Leos have some sort of hibernation during the winter. They move less, eat less and sleep more. You can lower the temperatures and the lenght of the daylight and give them less food (I feed mine once in two weeks).
You can read more from care-sheets.
