Hi folks,

I have a small group of female leos that I keep together. Two Tremper albinos, and two tremper sunglows.

All but one of them eat like pigs. I feed them meal worms, on occassion wax worms, and crickets regularly. Despite eating SOMETHING at least every other day, these girls just don't seem to gain weight. The mealworms are fed organic wheat bran, and the crickets are fed cornmeal and Flukers cricket diet, as well as high quality cat food, and whatever veggies we have in the house.

I keep them in a 3 foot neodesha, I'm wondering if this is too big of a space and they're all burning too much of what they're taking in by having a larger space?

Or perhaps start feeding them individually in a separate enclosure to make sure they're each getting their fill?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would think that it is a problem of insufficient space leading to bullying, a 3 foot cage is definitely not too much space for four leos.

Get 2 20 gallon long tanks. 2 geckos per 20L. That should be good. That or you can get a rack system and each gecko gets its own tank. Also add calcium. I use Rep Cal and its awsome.
