What do Leopard Geckos eat?
Leopard Geckos are primarily insectivores, meaning their diet consists mainly of insects. They enjoy a variety of live foods, including crickets, mealworms, and locusts. Offering a balanced diet is key to their health, so it’s important to supplement their meals with calcium powder and vitamin D3 to support their bone health. You can also provide gecko food mixes or specially formulated Leopard Gecko diets to add variety. Make sure to offer fresh food daily and remove uneaten insects to prevent any stress or mess in the enclosure.
Feeding your terrestrial gecko is easy once you have the right food and tools. For Leopard Geckos and other ground-dwelling geckos, offering live insects such as crickets, mealworms, or roaches is the most natural option. You can also use feeding tongs to place the food into their enclosure safely. Be sure to dust the insects with calcium powder or multivitamin supplements before feeding to ensure they’re getting the nutrients they need.
