feeding a baby

[fr0ntline]

i will be getting a baby leo..roughly 2 months old..how often should i feed her if i am just feeding mealworms? and how many per meal would be good? or should i just feed till she wont eat like once a day? or how?

Keep a bowl of at least 10 mealworms in the cage at all times and once it settles in expect that it may eat every day. You can check every evening and replenish the mealworms or swap them out. Put a little gutload in the mealworm dish so they have something to eat and aren't as inclined to climb out of the bowl.

For our little ones that eat mealworms we put about 10 in the bowl with a little calcium without D3 and some herptivite. That way they get the extra nutrients, and can eat when they are comfortable. If you find 10 are gone everyday you can slowly increase the number of mealies by one each day until you find she has reached a plateau. We store the extras in oats and gutload with potato for water.
