S/he ate several dead crickets that I accidentally put into his/her terrarium. Is that unhealthy? Will s/he be alright?

i wouldn't suggest doing it again but i don't think it would really hurt your leo, its mostly a nutritional thing i think. but its not like there is anything you can do now lol, i think your leo will be fine just keep a eye on her stools and eating habits ^_^

It probably won't be too bad now, but in the future it is recommendable to not do it again! Very Happy

It really depends on how long they've been dead... I mean if the crickets have been dead for a couple days, its not something you want to repeat. If they've very recently died from an unnatural cause, like heat (its gets to 120 in my area in the summer and sometimes crickets die in the car before I get them home from the store), then its not really an issue at all, and kind of a nice habit of your leo, as alot of leos won't eat anything that isn't having a seizure lol
