Leo eggs????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks for the info. I'm new to this whole breeding thing so I want to make sure I do everything the right way.
 
After she lays her eggs she gets really thin. She loves to eat a bunch of mealworms right after. She will eat crickets but doesn't really like them. Is there anything better to feed her to keep her at a healthy weight after laying her eggs? So far she is laying about once every 2 to 3 weeks. But this was her first good set of eggs.
 
just let her eat as much as she wants. Some people claim that its ok to feed breeding females pinky mice, but after examining the stools of some after eating rodent prey, I'm pretty convinced that they just do better on insects.

Waxworms are a good source of food that can replace the fat stores they used up in breeding effort.

Make sure she has calcium available as well at all times. They will lick the powder straight out of a dish, so no need to dust the insects.
 
She does have a bowl full of calcium and I am dusting everything that she will eat just to make sure she gets enough. Thanks again elevatehis
