over feeding?

[lanalizard]

hey, i was just wondering if it is possible to OVER feed a leo?

I guess it could be possible. I have seen leopards gourge themselves on mealworms and then regurgitate them. Its usually not a problem though. I would never restrict feeding on any leopard gecko. Especially juveniles and sub-adults. I have noticed some of my larger adults do not need to be fed everyday. I feed them about every other day and they do very well. As for juveniles and subs, I usually feed them twice a day. Hope this helps you out.

Babies and juvies can eat as much as they want, no worries there, since they're still growing. Even if adults over eat, and pack on the pounds, they seem to stop eating for a while (the notorious hunger strike that sends the human keepers into fits of anguish and despair). If you notice the fat bubble behind the front legs, cut back to feeding 2 times a week, if they don't cut back on their own.
