How Many Mealworms Should You Feed Your Leopard Gecko?

How Many Mealworms Should You Feed Your Leopard Gecko?

Are you sure you're feeding your gecko the right amount? Overfeeding can lead to serious issues like obesity or even impaction, a life-threatening condition. But don’t worry — we’ve got your back! Let’s dive into the perfect diet plan to keep your gecko happy, healthy, and thriving.

Feeding Guidelines for Leopard Geckos

  • Baby Geckos (Under 15g or 4 inches):
    2-3 small crickets or mealworms daily.

  • Subadult Geckos (15g - 40g):
    Up to 6-7 medium-sized crickets or mealworms every other day.

  • Adult Geckos (40g and Above):
    Large crickets and mealworms 2-3 times a week.

“What would be the best size meal for my leopard geckos?”

Always choose prey no larger than the width of your gecko’s head. Cutting mealworms or crickets in half can prevent choking and encourage safer eating.

Still Hungry? No Problem!
