What Should I Feed a Leopard Gecko?

Leopard geckos are insectivores. Their diet should be based on appropriately sized invertebrate prey rather than fruit or a general omnivore diet.

What insects can leopard geckos eat?

Common staple options include crickets, dubia roaches, locusts and silkworms. Mealworms can be offered in moderation, while very fatty worms are better treated as occasional foods.

Do feeder insects need supplements?

Feeder insects should be properly gut-loaded and supplemented with appropriate calcium and vitamin/mineral products. Follow the supplement label because frequency depends on the animal, diet and UVB setup.

Do leopard geckos need water?

Yes. Fresh water should always be available and changed regularly.
