I bought my leo last night and the girl told me...."Yes they were fed today"....ofcourse he was in the cage w/ 4 others so its hard to tell if he got anything....anyway, got him home and he ran in one of his hides for awhile....then he started acting like he was looking for something so I put a cricket in w/ him....he ate 3 like he was starved to death....and this morning he ate 3 more...They also said they only fed them mon,weds,fri....and these are babies and juvies...I thought you fed those everyday?...oh well thought I'd share..hes doing great though eating and drinking wonderfully...and walking around exploreing his new home

Yeah, most petstores are cruel and inhumane. Your juvie should be fed everyday, i feed my adults everyday. My adults all eat 10-15 mealworms a day. When i gave crickets, they ate 7-10 a day. Somebody please correct me if i'm wrong, but you may want to feed a few more crickets than 3 a day. Most people told me to give food until they are no longer hungry, but my geckos would eat all day if i did that. So i usually stop them at 10. Sounds like everything is going good for you. It took my geckos a while before they started to eat. Keep up the good work and good luck.
