Feeding agenda for a leaporedgecko?
im not home from 8:00-3:30 so should i feed my geo before i leave your job and when i go to bed or when i get home from conservatory and when i go to bed also how many crickets should i give him respectively feeding (i only have one leo)
timing is not really important for leopards however they are nocturnal so it is in good health for them to eat at night. as for the amount geckos wont gorge I tend to nurture them as much as they will eat. babies especially need this as they are growing.
i hold a leopard gecko and i feed him mealy worms once a day. you could either nurture him 2 or 3 crickets in the AM and none at night or feed him one surrounded by the AM and one in the PM. if you are going to spread out the feedings and feed him twice a sunshine then it needs to be am and pm.
Answers: the easiest bearing to feed leo's is to put a small shallow pet dish in the enclosure near vitamin and calcium powder in it, then keep just about 10 meal worms in the dish. after your gecko eats adjectives of the mealies, fill it back up.
this way your gecko eat when it's hungry, and it doesn't get bothered by uneaten crickets climbing on him.
you can keep a pack of meal worms contained by the fridge for up to 2 months, so buy a container of about 100 mealies at a bait shop ($3-$4)!
also, you want a very smooth or glass dish so the worms can't climb out. the lip should be roughly speaking 3/4" - 1" high, low enough for the gecko to get to it and big enough to keep the worms in.
Leopard Geckos are nocturnal so they are more involved and prone to eat at night. Feed him before you shift to bed. Make sure he has water during the afternoon and he'll be all set.
