When feeding your leopard gecko you will want to put any worms into a feeding bowl or a shallow dish that they can easily reach. Because of this many owners will mix up their diet with a combination of crickets, worms, and other insects to keep some variation in what they eat.
Leopard geckos have been known to change food preferences as they get older, so your gecko may love crickets one week and hate them the next. If your gecko is a picky eater you should feed them normally, but leave a food dish with worms available in their tank so they can eat later if they get hungry. Geckos that are active and already at a healthy weight can be fed as much as they can eat in a 15-20 minute period. Below are the most common feeding schedules among leopard gecko owners: Geckos that tend to overeatįeed them a set amount predetermined by you to reduce excessive eating and prevent them from gaining additional weight. There is no ideal routine to feeding leopard geckos since each gecko has different eating habits. You should feed your leopard gecko late in the day or early in the evening, since that is generally the time they start hunting in nature. So if you feel your leo is gaining a lot of unnecessary weight, you may want to cut back on their feedings or remove any fatty insects from their diet. It is difficult to overfeed leopard geckos, since they store their excess fat in their tail, but it is possible. You should only feed your gecko live insects (most leopard geckos won't eat dead prey).
Leopard geckos will eat anything that moves or wiggles in front of them.
