How much food??? Empty How much food???

Post by MrGecko Tue Nov 15, 2011 9:33 am

Well I am going to switch Hammy's diet to meal worms with a few crickets as a treat every other day or so. he is about 7 weeks old and eats like a machine lol. I was told to feed him six crickets a day. does this sound correct? Also how many meal worms should I feed him a day if I just feed him meal worms and a few crickets every other day? The meal worms are smaller than cricket so should I feed him more than six?


Thanks

You can actually feed him as much as he wants! Leos generally won't over eat. Usually if they do, they will do it once and then learn their lesson. Wink
My leo was eating about 10 mealworms a day around that age.

Thanks kathstew!!!

I am going to feed Hammy a few crickets to start then switch to meal worms and let him eat until he is content tonight.

I plan on slowly switching to meal worms as a staple diet and a cricket or two as a treat every now and a then.
