YEA. I think it might be a kink thing with them they just can’t get enough
Mhm they truly are! Although of course this is my preferred method of feeding, costs nothing and is easy (well, if they’re not being stubborn about latching on lol) but other methods can include feeding them with a sausage skin/condom filled with bovine blood, no pig blood or blood that contains thinners as it can be lethal. Another option is household pets which ehh, I wouldn’t really do myself.
I can see why you’d think that lol, I know it looks gory but having leeches feed off of you can actually be beneficial! Most people don’t even know that they’ve been used in the medical world since the Egyptian times - and are still used in hospitals today! Leeches are lifesavers
I recommend reading up on it. Also, if youre thinking “but what if they drink too much blood”, well leeches only consume a relatively small amount of blood, no where close to being dangerous. The only time leeches may be unsafe is if they are leeches caught from the wild, then yes they could have parasites in their saliva, it’s not recommended letting wild caught leeches feed on you, but other than that there is virtually no risk at all. The leeches I have are all from private breeders which have been raised in clean environments and have only ever fed off of me
That's interesting! I never actually knew leaches where kept in captivity until today
Oh, okay! That’s really interesting!I can see why you’d think that lol, I know it looks gory but having leeches feed off of you can actually be beneficial!

Just need to find the right people lol. There are a number of sellers in various parts of the world, if you are interested!
