Leopard geckos are insectivores, so their diet should
mainly consist of live insects. Here are the best foods for them:
Staple Insects (can be fed regularly):
· Crickets – High in protein and easy to find.
· Dubia Roaches – Nutritious, long-lived, and
less likely to escape.
· Mealworms – Easy to keep, but should be fed in moderation due
to higher fat content.
Occasional Treats:
· Waxworms – Very fatty; great for weight gain or a treat.
· Superworms – Larger and more active; better for adult geckos.
· Hornworms – Moist and hydrating; good as a treat.
Supplements:
· Calcium Powder (without D3) – Dust every feeding.
· Calcium with D3 – 1–2 times a week.
· Multivitamin – About once a week.
Pro Tips:
· Always gut-load
insects (feed them nutritious food 24 hours before giving them to your gecko).
· Avoid wild-caught
bugs—they can carry parasites.
· Don’t feed anything
bigger than the space between your gecko’s eyes.
