My leo has developed an annoying habit where he wont eat whilst im standing there which means feeding ever so difficult... he also wont touch any live food that is covered in calcium, he prefers it straight off my finger. so everyday i let him do this :/
I am wary about leaving him alone with the live food (which is mealworms as hes never wants to chase after crickets). i got and remove what evers left after like 15 mins but i still dont like leaving them in there with him... he wont eat out a bowl of plate either so the mealies pretty much have a free roam for that 15 mins in which they seem to get very far.
am i ok using this routine of feeding him or should i try and encourage him to eat in front of me?
hes not scared of me and lets me pick him up happily and will happily eat a waxie in front of me but just not his normal staple
