    LOG IN TO CLOSE THIS AD   

    I have two leos that are close to full grown. I
    got a new baby and have had it a few weeks and
    It has been fine but today i went to check on it and it was
    Gone. Then we found out that my sisters leo had ate her
    baby leo which was same age and thru it back up but mine havent
    If it did infact eat it. Why does this happen.

    Dam that's sad. You should've done your research and that leo would not have lost his life like that. It's hard to believe tho. He chewed him in pieces or how?

    It is always recommended that leos be kept alone, each in a 20 gallon LONG tank. Aggression is highly likely between two males. Competition and bullying frequently happen among leos of different sizes. Maybe one of the adults or both were hungry.

    Never try to raise a young leo with adults.

    With even smaller weight differences among cagemates, bullying is always a possibility. Maybe the degree of bullying has increased and that is why the youngest is not eating/thriving.

    Really best to separate her now. Petco has their $1 per gallon sale on till Jan 19th.
