Leopard geckos are popular pet lizards with their spotted colors and friendly personalities. They can make excellent pets, but they need a good diet to keep them healthy and happy.
Their main source of food is insects. It is also important to provide a variety of vegetables and water to make sure they get all the vitamins and minerals they need.
Almost all types of insect are a staple part of the leopard gecko’s diet. These can include crickets, hornworms, Dubia roaches and waxworms.
Feeding a diet of insects is ideal for the leopard gecko, since they are high in protein and fat. It is recommended to give the insects in small quantities, ideally three or four per day.
When selecting the insects to feed your gecko, look for those that have been bred in captivity. This will ensure that any pesticides, parasites or diseases they have been exposed to haven’t passed on.
You can buy the insects you need at a pet store. It is important to gut load all insects prior to feeding them to your gecko so that they are full of nutrition.
This will help improve their calcium to phosphorus ratio and avoid metabolic bone disease (MBD). In addition, the dusting of the insect before you feed it to your gecko will increase their vitamin and mineral content.
It is best to feed insects in a separate container from your gecko’s cage. This will prevent them from overeating or ingesting the insects in the wrong way.
