Hello and Welcome to My Leopard Gecko Website!                             This site is dedicated to the health and care of your Leopard Gecko                             I hope you enjoy your stay!

 

  Feeding

 

Leo are are carnivores and feed mainly on crickets and mealworms.  most breeders feed crickets and mealworms as there main diet. Breeder occasionally use waxworm,  superworms, and pinky ( baby mice ) to fattening them up, especially during the mating season. You can purchase cricket at your local pet store for about $1 for a dozen, but it's cheaper if you purchase it on the internet.

Gut Loading : Gut loading is fatting the food before it's feed to the Leo. Give the crickets a slice of orange before you feed it to the Leo. Wait at least 24 hours before feeding the crickets to the Leopard Gecko.

Vitamins: Some vitamins are Repti-Cal, Fluker Farm Repta-Calium Supplement, and HerpCare Cricket Dust. The supplements are use to give calcium and vitamin D which is needed for the Leo to grow. The supplement should be use using a plastic Ziplock bag then by putting some powder inside the bag, then put some cricket in then shake the bag until the cricket is cover with the supplement. Keep a dish for calcium in the enclosure at all time for the leopard gecko to lick it anytime it needs to.
