How old do leopard geckos have to be to be away from their mother?
they are born without their mothers. The female gecko lays her eggs and leaves. In fact, Leopard geckos will eat baby leopard geckos if they see them. Leopard geckos are smart so baby leopard geckos are born already knowing what to do with no help from their mother. They usually never even see their mothers or male children of the mother may even reproduce with the mother.
What eats Leopard Geckos?
Leopard geckos are carnivorus. Young leopard geckos in captivity should eat small crickets and small meal worms and small tomato worms that are dusted in a vitimon supilment. Larger,older leopard geckos in captivity should eat larger crickets,mealworms, tomatoworms, and wax worms. Wax worms are a treat and should only be fed every couple weeks. Make sure to have a veriety avaible to the geckos. Many owners feed pregnant females pinkies (new born mice). I do not recomend because leopard geckos in the wild do not eat pinkies. you can also feed large leopard geckos super worms,as long as you crush there heads so their almost dead by the time your Leo eats them. if they are not dead they can possibly eat their way out o the stomach

What do leopard geckos eat?
A leopard geckos diet will consist mostly of insects. Nutritional imbalances are common in leopard geckos, so it is important to provide a variety of bugs. Each bug has its own nutritional benefits. Here is a list of edible bugs: Commercial House Crickets Mealworms (they bite not recommended) Waxworms (very high in fat) Locusts Superworms Silkworms Black Field Crickets Cockroaches Pinkymice (mostly used for breeding females) A geckos food should never be wider than 1/2 the width of the geckos head and it should never be any longer than the geckos head. When feeding, always try to give more smaller prey items than less large ones, because the smaller the bug, the easier it is to digest. Well, they have a large selection really. If you're starting off with babies; small crickets, small (SMALL) chopped up veggies, (carrots best). That should be a baby geckos diet. The baby gecko might eat 3 times a day. Now if you have a "teen" gecko 12-16 months old to adult, larger crickets, (no veggies) try to dust the crickets w/ calcium (put a couple in a bag and shake around) 5 in the winter, 7and up in the summer. Mealworms, earth worms, wax worms, and any other type of larvae. Leopard geckos are an insectivorous species of gecko. These animals rely on a variety of live feeders such as: insects, variety of worms (larve stages of moths) and dubai roaches. All feeders should be gutloaded and coated with calcium prior to feeding.
