possibly overweight leo??

[reesanne]

hi all, i think my leo is overweight and im not quite sure what to do about it, any advice?

he is just getting switched to getting fed every other day, but hes been fed 13-14 mealworms. Any help?

I really don't worry about it too much. If he doesn't mind being handled, you could give him some exercise by letting him explore safe places (behind couch cushions, carpeted stairs, bathroom, cardboard box). If you feed him every other day the same amount that you were feeding every day (so essentially he's getting about half of what he was getting), maybe that will do something.
