Question about feeding

mach5speedy433 Dec 01, 2004 06:23 PM

Hi, I have a question about feeding my two leopards. They are both over a year old and I have fed them small crickets and small worms then changed that to bigger crickets and bigger worms. Recently they have been eating less and they are pretty fat.

My question is, if it is okay to put in freeze dried dead crickets found in pet stores instead of buying the big crickets and putting them in there, them not eating the crickets and having to hear the churp churp churp all the time.

They might not show any interest to the crickets you buy in the jar at the pet store, why dont you keep your crickets in a container and put some veggies fruit or something like dog food in there and just put a cricket or two in the tank at a time and throw another one after the other one gets eaten..you should only leave crix in there for around 15-30min anyway.
