i have 2 juvenile Leos and they act like they are always hungry? i don't wanna over feed them and i don't wanna under feed them, so i was wondering do they need to eat more because they are growing or what? please let me know, i want them to be as healthy as possible :) Thanks for taking the time to read this post :)

Young ones should be fed daily. I wouldn't worry about over eating. If they overeat they will regurgitate and learn their own lesson. :p
Make sure to dust your feeders with vitamins and have calcium available at all times (I buy the bottom section of the smallest clay pot available. They have tiny ones at Michael*s, like 2" across. Put a bit of calcium in it and they will come lick it as needed.)

my guy was born on 4-27 of this year, and i put crickets in his tank for about 15-20 minutes and he doesnt eat them. i got him on sat. is this normal for him or should i try switching to mealworms and see if he eats them? also which is better for them mealworms or crickets, and do i need to dust the mealworms as well. thanks first leo
