Nice looking Leos you have there As far as pinky mice, people seem split on the idea. But all seem to pretty much agree that IF you use them, 1 a month is plenty. I've seen some breeders say they feed pinkies but defintely more that do not. I myself have never used them and never will. Leo's digestive systems are not really setup to easily digest them. As long as you offer food to your female every day during breeding season through her egg laying, and dust her feeders with calicum 6 days/week & vitamin supplements w/ D3 once/week she should be fine. Also keep a dish of pure calicum in her tank. Superworms are great for putting weight on both males and females.
