Leopard geckos should be fed based on their age and health status.

  • Juvenile leopard geckos (younger than 1 year) should be fed every day.
  • Healthy adult leopard geckos generally should be fed every other day or 2-3 times per week.
  • Sick or recovering geckos may need daily feeding until they regain strength.
  • Amount-wise, they typically eat about two appropriately sized insects per inch of body length per feeding.
  • Food is best offered late in the day or early evening, matching their natural hunting times.
  • Common feed includes crickets, mealworms, and other insects dusted with calcium powder 2-3 times a week and multivitamins biweekly.

This feeding schedule allows for proper nutrition and weight management to avoid overfeeding or obesity in leopard geckos.
