What can I give my leopard gecko as a treat?

The best insects to feed your Leopard Gecko are crickets and mealworms. However, you can also feed him waxworms, butterworms, silkworms, tomato hornworms, beetles, sow bugs and cockroaches. Waxworms and superworms should be fed as a treat as they’re high in fat.

Why does my leopard gecko not eat mealworms?

If your leopard gecko doesn’t seem to eat the crickets or mealworms right away (and this is rarer that you would think), here is a TIP ALERT- try a wax worm or two. Not much, as wax worms are high in fat. Once they start eating, ween them away from the wax worms as soon as possible.
