What do leopard geckos eat?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

They eat super wormes meal worms and crickits, but not the black ones.
