you shouldn't race to fatten her up....
For her sake you should ensure she is over 1 year old and at least 50g in weight although I prefer to wait until they stop growing as some females can reach 100g!
Leos do grow quickly and if you let her eat as many crickets as she wants she will quickly put on weight.
If she's not gaining weight, then you might like to have one of her fecal samples checked by a vet incase she has parasites.
Best wishes,
Pauline

I just fed my AFT's pinkies for the first time and they loved them I feed them dusted crickets regularly and I am going to start giving them pinkies to fatten them up for breeding and as an occasional treat. AFT's are similar to leos so pinkies would be fine as long as they are small ones.
