Leopard gecko diet
Leopard Gecko Food and leopard gecko diet information:
Live insects are a must for your gecko; they do not eat plants or veggies. The best items to use are meal worms or crickets, but you can treat your pet to wax-worms or super worms once a week if you wish.
A Leopard Gecko’s diet should include insects and worms, fruit and vegetables. Leopard Gecko’s don’t tend to eat dead prey, as they’re attracted to the movement of live food.
Here’s a safe live food list for your Leopard Gecko. The list also shows what Leopard Geckos can eat in the wild
What do Leopard Geckos eat in captivity? | What do Leopard Geckos eat in the wild? |
Crickets | Spiders |
Mealworms | Caterpillers |
Waxworms | Locusts |
Butterworms | Beetles |
Silkworms | Scorpians |
Tomato hornworms | Lizards (occasionally) |
Beetles | Rodents (occasionally) |
Sow Bugs | Other invertebrates |

Roaches |
Should you offer your lizard super mealworms, you should do so sparingly offering only newly-molted (white) grubs.
Butterworms should be kept as a treat, as they are fatty, contain bad calcium and some geckos have been known to get addicted to them and refuse all other food.
