A. Hello Frank & Claudette, there are two possibilities that happened to your leech: It has either been injured by the other leeches by bite on its body or this leech may not be shedding its skin properly and it is constricting its body. The first possibility would be viable, if the leech has a round mark on its body, in which case it will be letting out blood from that hole and you must isolate the leech to live by itself and to heel properly. For the other possibility you should add some small and medium sized pointy rocks to its water, to aid the shading process for him and for his mates. Adding rocks will be very beneficial for all of your leeches anyway, because improper shading of the skin leads to many Health problems and even death.

A. Leeches can feed on any living mammal. The feeding technique depends on your preference, but most people prefer to let the leech crawl around and attach on their own. For example, if you are going to feed your leech on your dog or cat, you would shave the area for feeding, as the leech prefers bare skin to attach itself on, and let your leech crawl around that area. Once the leech is securely attached, it starts to suck blood and it will drop off on its own when its done. If your leech isn't attaching easily to the chosen area of feeding, you may use the needles sold in our online shop, to prick the skin and let some blood out, so that the leech will smell it and be tempted to feed exactly on that same spot. You may also feed your leeches artificially, by stuffing an empty intestine with blood, however, this option is not advisable, as leeches do not prefer it. They much prefer a firm, live body to suck their blood from. If leeches are fed on humans, small leeches will not leave a scar, but medium and large leeches may leave scars on your body. There are places on the body where scars do not occur, such as the back of the neck area.
