i feed mine goldfish flakes right now is that ok?

you also might want to try, cereal, oatmeal, potatoes (excellent for moisture). Also some carrots and bannanas work well the day before you feed them to your leo just for exta gutloading.

I feed my feeder insects a mix of dry oatmeal, powdered milk, dry baby oatmeal, a dash of miner-all, baby rice cereal, and when I have it, some wheat germ is also added. This is working great for me so far (I couldn't find all the ingredients on the Ultimate Feeder Insect Diet) so I just make due with what I have.

I was told fish flakes might too high in protein. I can't remember the exact reason. I feed mine wheat bran, baby cereal, oat and carrots.

Hey cleo...how are your eggs doing?

Considering that the very first clutch died, and the second clutch was infertile everything is going well. The third clutch's eggs are really big and heavy which seems right for their development since they should be hatching in two or three weeks. The fourht clutch's eggs are smaller and lighter, but they still have a little less than a month to continue to grow so that's normal. The fifth clutches eggs (last ones) are very petite and have very soft shells but I can see lots of tiny blood vessels in the larger one which makes me hopeful. I'll post a pic of them as soon as I can.
