what else do u feed ur leo besides mealies? you need to becareful with wax worms, as i said they can become addicting, and they will refuse any other kind of food. ive seen this first hand. if they get addicted they can become obease(spelling). so becarefull.

i havent fed her waxies in a long time id say 2 or 3 months and her main staple is mealies cause they r so much easier to keep alive and alot less messy than crix but she jus wont eat them nemore im gettin a little bit worried but the good thing is she doesnt seem to have lost ne weight she weighs about 85 grams or so.

ne other suggestions are appreciated
