I just got my Leo's today, and they are around a month old. When is the best time to feed them? HELP.
Definitely feed babies every day as much as they want. Yes, feed at night since this is when they are most active. Don't forget to always gutload your insects before using them!

You should have done more research before you got them, there is TONS of information about leos on the internet. Anyways, I feed mine as many crickets/mealworms as she can eat in about 10 minutes, and once she starts losing interest I stop feeding. They are noctournal lizards, so if you dont want to interrupt that cycle, feed them in the evening when they are going into hunting mode. I however feed mine whenever, and there seems to be no adverse effects from it. I usually feed them once every two or three days, and as they turn into adults once a week or so, but with larger meals.
Hatchlings and young geckos can be fed 4-8 food items once per day. Adults can be fed 4-10 food items of the appropriate size every 2-3 days. Geckos being nocturnal prefer to hunt their prey at night, so it is advised to place food items with your Geckos after dusk.
i feed mine every night to every other night. mine is about 3 months old though. so maybe do the same thing. But try feeding them crickets.
