feeding question

spearmint123 Dec 08, 2005 08:10 PM

So my two week old leo (three inches long including tail) is eating small cricks. I put in 5 to 7 of them and they are all gone in about 10 mins. Am I feeding him to little or is that a good amount?

Thanks everyone

Feed your baby as much as it will eat in 15-20 min. My hatchlings on average will eat about 5-7 1/3"-1/4" crickets and about 5 small superworms each night.

Ive just hatched two leos and they eat about 20-25 baby roaches every day
(naupheta cinereum). or 15-20 small cricks..
feed them as much as they will eat in 10-15 minutes... babies have fast metabolism..
Anyway thats just my opinion
