Hello
sir Scotty,
You
are such a wonderful help!
I
currently feed my leachianus a pinky mouse each about once every two weeks,
could this become a problem? I offer them insects at least twice a week, but
they have no interest, and I do give them a variety. I just put some fresh mango
in last night, but as of this morning they didn't touch it. The cilliatus on the
other hand ate all the mango in the bowls, and licked them clean like
ravenous mango fiends from a planet devoid of mango.
We(zoomed) have a new product out that is a retorted
can of Locust. I'm going to offer it to the leachianus, although I don't have
high hopes of them eating dead food. I'll bring some to Daytona for you to try.
Retorted insects are moist, unlike freeze dried, and have been eaten by a great
number more herps than freeze dried insects. I have all the animals at work
trained on em', and even the Phelsuma eat them (they get the retorted meal
worms).
Should
I not offer pinkies to the leachianus, just so they can go hungry and be more
apt to take insects?
I'm
buying berries and grapes after work to offer them.
I have
the rach book, and have read it front to back, a wonderful book. Where's the
Uroplatus book?
Thanks
for your offer on the leachi article, that would be great! I will certainly
enjoy reading it over some broiled shrimp and hot toddies!
Thanks
again, (I'll be taking some pictures of the geckos this weekend, I'll
send some your way)

I have raised numerous leachianus, and have found most of them take
awhile to get onto insects. With a little (or a lot in some cases) of
patience they come around. Try roaches, super worms, and for a treat, I use
blackberries, grapes, rasberries, cantelope, all kinds of stuff. I will
sometimes stand at the cages and share a bananna with my adults.
