[tarantulamatt]

there so awesome mine is so cute.

and i love them when they are babys with the bands

[mikerobinson83]

i am unsure what morph it is will look into it a little later when he/she is settled.
on a news report, he/she is settling well, eating ok sleeping well, is shedding at the mo,
on another note, i cantseem to find a definative amount to feed s/he i know what s/he is supose to eat and how often but not number of how many.
i am giving s/he 4/5 small locusts a day at the mo as i have read to feed young ones every day.

I feed all my young as much as they'll eat every day ~ which usually consists of a dish of small fresh mealies available at all times plus between 10-15 or so livefoods such as suitably sized crickets, roaches, locusts etc

*nods* yes... all of my young ones can and often do eat that amount with the mealies being snacks during the night if wanted
Young leo's grow at a phenomenal rate and this is powered by the amount they eat..... a common mistake people make with young leos is rationing their food amounts and/or not feeding them every day

i agree with sleepy, let them gorge themselves.
