Today I was checking on some of my leos and I noticed that one of my leos had thrown up mealies could it be that I over fed them I fed them everynight should I cut back to less and every other day

Could very well be overfeeding... One of my juvies goes absolutely nuts when eating and she tries to inhale all the mealies asap, lol. I found she threw up one night and I have since cut back on giving her larger portions and give her smaller portions at a time now.

We usually feed every other day so they have time to digest. Try feeding every other day and feeding less everyday and see which works better for your geckos. Some geckos are great at regulating their food intake but some will eat everything you put in front of them. Double check your temperatures too. If a heater malfunctioned, a drastic temp change could cause regurgitation. Most likely it ate to much but it never hurts to check everything!

My 1 month old gecko ate 8 extremely big mealies and then threw up. After that, he knew when to stop on his own. Gecko's are pretty smart. They learn from trial and error.

Sounds like your leo was eating them too fast and/or too many?!

Do you use a dish, or just drop them in one at a time?

I have never had one do that before, but I know sometimes they get
very excited at dinner time
