lots of peoples Leos stop/reduce eating this time of year. If its getting real skinny definately go to the vet. Try different types of food. Also try taking all the cage furniture out and then feeding, feed in different cage, etc.

unless a vet tells you that it is necessary. I�m sure Freddy is fine if he still has a fat tail.
