Hello all,
I just made the switch from crickets to dubias. I am wondering how many and how often I should be feeding to an adult leo. With crickets, (and I will admit this may not have been the best method, but it is just what we have always done) I would buy 24-36 once every week or so and put them all in at once. He would usually eat roughly 12-20? or so, and then the rest would usually die before he got hungry again. Now that I started reading about dubias, I've heard of some people feeding one or two bugs every couple days...which just seems like I would be starving him. He seems to always be hungry and ready to eat every time I walk over to the tank. I've been giving him 2-3 dubias a day since I got the bugs, but I don't know if I'm over feeding him or under feeding him. The bugs are around 1/2 inch to 3/4. Thoughts? Any harm in just letting them eat as much as they want?
