how to prevent 1 leo from eating both meals (2 leo tank)

[ggg111]

How do I make sure my leos split the mealorms evenly? Right now 1 eats everything within minutes and the other gets none or only a few left over. Thanks

I put the out in a bowl

handfeed them

I would try hand feeding or tong feeding to make sure they both get equal or near equal amounts. I have to watch this carefully too as I have two young females housed together. So far it's ok, but I may end up getting another tank and spitting them so I won't have to worry. Sometimes you can't house them together if one dominates the other by not allowing it to feed.

Tong feeding might be okay, but I wouldn't hand feed with your bare hand! You're asking to get bitten!

I have some that I have fed everyonce in a while and never get bit by them. Of course i have seen some pictures of some getting vicious and leaving some good marks.

I wouldn't hand feed in a situation where it seems that there is better solutions. Whats seems to be the best solution is having 2 food bowls in the tank or seperate the two. I have tanks that have several females and I know that they all can't eat out of one bowl. They can't get all there fat butts around the bowl so I put two in there with them so if more then one wants to eat then they won't get bothered by the other.

feed the other one first then take out the greedy one and let the hurgry poor gecko eat
