Food
Leopard geckos primarily eat insects in the wild. Therefore, the most common food that leopard geckos are fed is insects. Some of the insects available to purchase for your leopard gecko are crickets, mealworms, superworms, wax worms and silk worms. If you use crickets and mealworms as the primary food and wax worms as treats, you should have a happy and well fed gecko.
Crickets
Crickets can be purchased at your local pet store, and usually cost about 10 cents each. You should ”gut load” your crickets before feeding them to your gecko. “Gut loading” means that you make sure your crickets are full before the gecko eats them.
