I had had my Leo for a few months now not sure on age maybe about 6 months. The pet store I got her from said she was a few months when I got her. Anyway all is fine had a vet check up and no parasites or anything. But I'm wondering if I'm feeding to much? I feed as much as she will take in approx 15 mins, but this is quite a bit I think. She won't eat crickets at all but she will eat approx 12 small hoppers or locust and 2-3 medium dubias a night I dust with reptivite 2x week and keep plain calcium in the tank at all times. Poo is fine although large lol! So am I over feeding?
Is my Leo eating to much?

Seems like you are doin a fine job feeding her. Mine would eat up to 17 Small crickets a night when she was a juvenile. Do like you are doing (feed as much as she will eat within a certain time) and make sure her feeders aren't bigger than the space between her eyes. Around 7 months old she will slow down a bit.

Hi ~
Nice that you brought your leo to a vet's for a checkup and that she passed.
Good on keeping what I hope is a very small bottle cap of plain calcium carbonate in the tank at all times. That should be for backup only.
What type of Reptivite have you? the kind with or without vitamin D3?

Good that you have the Reptivite with D3 and that you are lightly dusting with it 2x weekly.
Yes, very small bottle cap of plain calcium carbonate in the tank 24/7.
