How many mealworms should you feed your leopard gecko each day?

Feed them two or three medium to large worms at a time. Worms are good for turtles, but they are omnivores and need a varied diet so don't make it the only food. Water turtles will eat cooked shredded meats, meal worms, greens like dark green romaine and dandelion greens, which you can float on the surface of their water (and greens make cute hats, as you'll see if they end up on the turtles head as it emerges from the water) and turtle sticks, which contain vitamins. The same rule goes for box turtles and tortoises, too.
Worms are like candy to turtles and can be harmful if they are the only food, so change it up!

∙ 12y agoWell, it depends on a few things:
- how big ur anole is
- how big the meal worms are
- how many anoles u r feeding
if u are feeding 1 adult anole, u can start with 2 small mealworms. then try bigger ones, or more of them. u should be able to tell how many ur anole will eat after a while.
if u r feeding 2 adult anoles, try 3 or 4 mealworms, 3 adult anoles, try 4 to 6, if more, try putting varying amounts and insects.
good luck!

Feed them as many insects as they can eat. Remove leftovers after 15 minutes. The amount they eat each time will vary. Be sure that insects are gut-loaded and dusted with a quality calcium powder containing vitamin D3. Do not feed ONLY mealworms - vary the diet with other insects, such as crickets, phoenix worms, and the occasional wax worm as a treat.

How long between each leopard feed?
I would feed every other day; that's what I do for my leopard gecko. Make sure you provide a varied diet with crickets, mealworms, and a waxworms once or twice a week. Good Luck! ~Leopard Gecko Fan~
Do Long tailed lizards do well with leopard geckos?
Absolutely not ! They require completely different living conditions ! Besides which - they'd never encounter each other in the wild.
How often do Leopard Gecko eat?
An adult leopard gecko should be fed 3-5 appropriately sized feeders 3-4 times a week. A baby/juvenile should be fed 1-3 appropriately sized feeders, daily.
What other reptile can you place with a leopard gecko?
The only reptiles you can place with a leopard gecko are fat tailed geckos. Leopards and Fat Tails are very closely related and don't seem to be able to tell the difference between each other.
What are all the gecko breeds?
* Leopard geckos * Crested Geckos * White Lined Geckos (Skunk Geckos) * Fat-Tailed Geckos * House Geckos * Tokay Geckos * Golden Geckos * Madagascar Ground Geckos * Day Geckos
Do leopard gecko's attack each other?
Actually they can and will attack each other. I found one of my leopard geckos dead because the other one attacked it. Its tail was pulled off and its front legs were missing. You are seriously mistaken when you believe they will not attack each other. It is survival of the fittest.
Can a Leopard Gecko be introduced to a new Leopard Gecko?
Unless they are juveniles, I advise you not to introduce adult Leopard Geckos. It can get the Gecko who got into the vivarium first quite stressed which can kill it. If they are juveniles, though, they will be OK together. However, you should NEVER put two males together, even if they are juvenile, as they would fight to the death of one another. Two females or a male and female who have been together since juveniles will be fine, but anything else could end up with a dead Gecko. P.S. I have two Geckos of my own who have been with each other since a very young age too. Beware that some animals are quite solitary like these kind of Lizards.
What is a leopard geckos habitat?
a desert-like habitat. If you are setting up a cage for a leopard gecko, make sure it has a warm side and a cool side with a hut on each side. Leopard Geckos come from deserts in places like Afghanistan, India, and many other places
What happens if you put to different species of gecko in one tank?
90% of the time the two species do not require the same care. In most cases, people will try to house a leopard gecko with a crested gecko. Leopard geckos live in heat reaching 105F each day with up to 14 hours of light and 0% humidity, very dry. The crested gecko live in temps never exceeding 80F with 10-12hours of sunlight and up to 90% humidity. One of the species is guaranteed death depending on what the setup of the tank is (desert or tropical)
Can you have a leopard gecko and a beardie if there tanks are on different sides of a room?
Of course. You can put their tanks right next to each other, if you want. Their climate needs are pretty similar in that they like it hot and dry, so that shouldn't be a problem. The only thing you can't do is put them in a tank together. The leopard gecko would not likely survive very long, if the beardie is too large and aggressive. If you put them next to each other and you see them trying to get at each other through the glass, just put a piece of paper or cardboard between the tanks.
Should you get a bearded dragon or a leopard gecko for a pet?
That depends how much experience you already have as a reptile keeper ! If you've never kept reptiles before, the best one of the two would be the gecko. if you've already has some experience - go for the bearded dragon. In EITHER case - BEFORE you get the reptile, you should do some detailed research into what each animals requirements are. It's no good getting something you have no idea how to look after - and expecting it to survive on its own !
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.
