Crickets are used for fattening purposes with crested geckos. When breeding, females calcium stores are nearly depleted from the preparation of eggs. Feeding your crested supplemented crickets will aid in the cooling period, ensuring your female will be prepeared for next season.

Do leopard geckos HAVE to eat live food?
No. People feed leopard geckos "pinkies" for various reasons. To boost nutrition during a geckos pregnancy. To give a gecko a large feeding so as to not have to feed it for a week (this works well if you want to take a vacation). Some people just think it's entertaining. A Leopard Gecko does not "need" to eat baby mice. Crickets will do.
How much do you feed a crested gecko?
You should feed your crested gecko daily. Use the crested gecko special diet mixed with water and alternate that with crickets. Mine have done very well with this. I don't recommend baby food due to it being high in sugar.

What things should you consider before buying a gecko?
it matters what type of gecko as crested geckos and day geckos are arboreal which means they live in trees so the vivarium must be taller than wide and if you want to by a leopard gecko they are terrestrial meaning they live on the ground and have a completely different set up. crested geckos will need a more humid vivarium as they live in rain Forrest's. they will need enrichment like branches and leaves in their enclosure to simulate their natural environment and they are mostly fed on live invertebrates such as crickets and locusts. although it is tempting to feed them in their viv it is advised to take them out and feed them with tweezers to prevent them thinking your food when trying to handle them. unlike many other reptiles geckos are nocturnal with the exception of the day gecko and they do not require uvb lamp i am up sure about the needs for a day gecko but its mostly the same. leopard geckos will require a longer viv and the substrate can be different such as calcium sand the environment will rarely need spraying as they come from a dessert but they still require enrichment such as logs to hide under. they eat the same food as the other geckos and are mostly fed outside the enclosures.

Can leopard geckos eat only meal worms with calcium powder or do they need crickets?
yes but try not to feed more than 3 or 4 a day b/c meal worms are varry fatty and try to avoid feeding them too many meal worms. after ur gecko has eaten them give them a bit of chicken baby food to help the digestion system. U can do this by put some baby food on the tip of ur finger and then whipe it on the end of their nose, the gecko will eventually lick it off. i would give them 2 or 3 lickfulls of the baby food. oh and also mix a little of their calcium powder in the baby food. this is VERY important, so do not forget to do this!

What do leopard geckos need?
Look at the question "how do you make a habitat for a leopard gecko". They also need crickets, meal worms, calcium/ multivitamins, and a spray bottle that's able to mist. The crickets need food, and a water source (such as a water pillow, or orange cubes).
