amount of mealies to feed

8tay8 Feb 28, 2004 10:30 AM

i have a 3 month old leo. ive asked on here before about howmuch mealies a day to feed it. people have told me to feed as much as she will eat. i was wonderind what is the minimum amount to feed a day? she usually eats about 5,6 at a time, so i try to give her 5 in the morning and 5 at night so she gets 10 a day. it would be alot easier to do it at night just once a day, so what is the least amount to feed a day?

thanks!

Feed them as they wants. Then they will get supe rfat and grows fast, if you feed as it wants like an buffet.

yeah, but what is the MINIMUM amount to feed them? 5 , 6? i know to feed her as much as she will eat, but i do not want her to be under fed , so maybe someone could tell me what their babies ate at one feeding. please, this is all i want to know

I just leave them in the dish, I put like 10 in at a time. They are rediculously cheap if you buy them online, I could go 2000 online for the price of 200 at petco/smart

hmmm around 10 but if you are going to feed it some crickets try 7 mealworms and 5 crickets. Mine can eat all it wants but if doesnt digest them if i give her to much so i just give her 10 and some crickets.

There is no minimum. Just feed it as much as it wants. They know better than us. I don't see point of feeding it the "minimum". It's like 10-20 minutes a day to feed them
