Bit of a problem. Can someone help.

[darkangel212]

I have 3 female leos and my oldest one hogs all the food. I am feeding them superworms currently and the other two can only eat if i take the oldest out during feeding time. Would it be a good idea if i seperated her into her own tank and left her by herself?

 

[Riyo]

Yes, separate them. Some just don't share well.

 

[darkangel212]

Also i want to say that as a result of this my 1yr old hasnt gotten any bigger and is still small. this is her.

The one that hogs the food is about 9-10yrs.

Definately move that bigger one out of the tank, Look at her, she needs ALOT of attention to bulk her up.

 

[MiamiLeos]

yep, id mover her out. shes a senior now anyways and would appreciate her own space

 

[MichaelJ]

Absolutely. Separate them. You'll notice a big improvement in the two females that are currently being bullied. While you're separating them, you may want to consider giving each girl her own enclosure.

Good luck!

I dont have enough tanks to give them each their own enclosure. The only reason i am able to seperate the adult is because i have an extra tank lying around. How long do you think it would take to get the other two filled out?

Well if you want to can make a rack system with Tupperware containers.Their is a guide in the DIY

 

[darkangel212]

Thats what i want to do. there is one for sale near my area. But once they fill out can i put the 2 youger females back together?

Why are you set on having them together? They really do better individually, unless you're breeding, and even then it should only be for a few days....

you can get ten gallon tanks at wal-mart for like ten bucks.

you only leave your males in a few days? :O

 

[JordanAng420]

Yeah...I don't keep them together all the time. My male is a big bully, and compleatly dominates his entire territory...

It is not always a must to seperate your males and females unless there is bullying going on, except for the couple months to give your females rest. As long as everyone gets a long it doesn't hurt to keep more than one leo in an enclosure. Now if they don't get along then common sense says seperate them.

 

[darkangel212]

I want to seperate the bully but the other two females i would like to keep together thats what i ment.

Need be you can always put up a divider if it comes down to seperating the other two without getting a third tank.

Just get plexiglass cut to fit, and a pack of clear hooks with the tape. All in all costs like 5 bucks and works like a charm. You can even double up on the plexiglass and cut a tank background so they can't see each other.

I did this when Hera was bullying Talia. And we haven't had issues since, Talia is way happier being on her own. :main_thumbsup:

I separated my two females just because they looked at each other funny. Plus I like to monitor exactly who is eating what.

 

[darkangel212]

Thanks guys =)

I am probably going to do this as well with a 20L that I have. I was curious what the clear hooks would do? I was just going to tape it there once I cut it to snug fit. If there is a better trick, I would love to know. Thanks.

I have a plastic divider that you would usually use for a fish tank, would that be ok to use.
