rescuing 4 leos

[William Carty]

Ok i am in the process of rescuing 4 leos from a pet stop that has went out of business the lady that has the animals has been feeding them freeze dried crickets and dried meal worms.. when i seen them they did not look all that bad health wise but their color was duller than i would think so my question is what should i do to get them off that crap diet and on to real live mellies and crickets.. should i just start feeding them completely or should i slowly move them over to live?
i will have pics of these beautiful animals when i go pick them up.. the shop owner is a very good friend of mine but she recieved some horrible advice on care to leos and when i started telling her what all she was doing wrong I could see the concern in her eyes.. so Ive made it my mission to insure these little gals and guys has a good and safe home.

I dont see any problem with switching straight to live.

Live gutloaded will probably tickle their fancy. It's their instincts to hunt, so they'll probably take to it right away!

I feed one of mine the dried stuff and he loves it. in fact, he's 97g and only a year and a half old. I just dust them and provide a supplement dish. He does get live stuff sometimes for fun, or if my other leos have leftovers

Freeze dried food as a main staple, even when dusted still doesnt compare to live.
