Hey is your gecko doing good? I got a leopard gecko too, and I just saw the v-shaped "pre-anal holes." It's official. My gecko is a boy. Mine is looking pretty healthy, fat tail, bright colors, shedding enough, eating well.

It is now 2019 and I'm a new leapord gecko owner, I stumbled across the videos you mentioned at the end while doing my research, awful people!!

[@whitleehalen831]

how’s your gecko??

[@jemcat99]

Great video as usual. So glad I found your channel because I am now confident I know how to look after a leopard gecko, without being misinformed by pet shop staff or incorrect information online. It infuriates me that right now, leopard geckos are being cared for on a sand substrate with heat lamps, or not being fed any supplements, or like you mentioned in the video, being fed food that is way too big for them. :( One quick question though, is it okay to put Eco earth straight on top of the heat mat inside my wooden vivarium, or should there be something inbetween?

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Jemma Vine aww thank you :D yes its such a shame, sometimes it feels like its the individual leopard gecko owners vs the big corporate pet business. I just hope I can reach as many people as possible, before they put their geckos in bad conditions. Yeah you can put the eco earth on top, but dont make it too thick, as the heat wont be able to travel through.

[@jemcat99]

Leopard Gecko It really is sad. I've been asked by my neighbours to look after their two leopard geckos while they go on holiday, and of course I said yes. I'll be going over to see them soon, I'm just praying that I don't go round there to find that they're on sand or have a lamp. It would be such a shame and I would hate to try and tell them that it's wrong, especially as I don't know them very well. Anyway, thanks for the answer, I'm really looking forward to getting a leopard gecko! 

[@leopardgeckotalk]

oh i know how you feel, because a friend of mine got a gecko shortly after me, but he put it on calci sand, because the reptile shop told him too, and finally after lots of hints from me (because you dont want to be too blunt or rude), he changed it, but i didnt realise he chose wood chippings! :( sadly the gecko didnt last very long, and died shortly after. :/

[@jemcat99]

Leopard Gecko Terrible. If only everyone knew how to look after them properly. So even reptile shops can suggest bad things... I haven't been able to find a local breeder but I have found a reptile shop, I'm visiting it this weekend to see if it's any good or not. From the website it looks great, but I'll soon find out for myself, as I guess some places only care about the money and not so much about the animal welfare.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

yeah its good that you're going to check it out first. Fortunately diego was on reptile carpet when i bought him, and since i had owned leos for a while at that point, the lady in the shop didnt go through all the 'info' :')

[@Cavegeckosol]

I've found that half of the reptile videos on KZbin are ones of people being cruel when they feed their animals. It's a good mark for the hobby, and it just infuriates me. I'm not even the type to get too upset at live mouse feedings with snakes (still seems a bit irresponsible and meant to get a rise out of viewers, but some snakes just eat live....), but when people are feeding leopard geckos their own tails, then we have a problem. As for amounts of feedings, I feed my cave gecko on a similar regimen, though with a good deal less food. I just don't have as much heat on him and the species is smaller in general.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Marina McKinley yeah there was a video where someone housed their leo with an african fat tailed gecko, which shouldnt happen. And the leo was clearly stressed and had dropped its tail, so the person put the tail infront of it and tried to encourage it to eat it. it was disgusting :( there's also a video of a leo eating a live mouse, and as you said, some snakes so that, but i think with leos, a live, rather large mouse, is just ridiculous, and so so cruel, plus that puts the leo in danger too. Ahh i guess we cant change everything, but its a shame these kind of videos are still up online :(

[@Cavegeckosol]

Leopard Gecko I remember seeing these two idiots putting a knight anole (you know, the huge ones) with a bearded dragon. I don't know what they were doing, but they clearly wanted to see them fight each other which they did. It irritates me because if people posted videos of dogs doing this or of a person feeding a dog a live animal or part of its own body, then it would immediately be banned. No such case with reptiles, I guess...

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Marina McKinley yeah :( what an idiot. Its frustrating youtube doesnt do too much in regards to animal abuse, especially when people post videos of their animals in unacceptable environments, and even promote these environments :/

[@JTBReptiles]

I seen that video with the AFTG and LG, really upsetting. I even seen a video saying you can house them together, appalling!

[@Cavegeckosol]

FaZe RicHy Yes, leave a few in over night. just be sure to remove the uneaten ones in the morning. The gecko is up and about at night, so I feel safe leaving food with them. In the day when they sleep, I try to remove uneaten feeders. I keep species other than leos that must be fed in this way.

How Often & How Much Do You Feed a Leopard Gecko? :P

[@gillianmcewan3570]

Lol 😂🤣

[@trishaaudettemammadukes30]

One day I realized I hadn't fed my leopard gecko in 5 days it was really late at night and I was feeding him I think it was like 3 in the morning which I never do I never feed him that early in the morning but I just wanted him to eat and I wanted to go to bed because I felt really bad I hadn't fed him I usually feed him every 3 or 4 days he won't take any food any earlier than that but as I was feeding him I wasn't waiting the appropriate time that he likes to wait in between each worm and I was feeding him faster than I normally do and I actually almost killed my gecko all the worms started coming back up in his throat and he was choking to death I was able to pull some of the worms out with my longer tweezers and he was able to swallow the other ones but I'm not going to lie I panicked I started crying I thought I had killed my gecko but he is safe and I learned from that experience and I've never done that again he likes to wait about 30 seconds in between each I make sure that he Chomps down on the head of the worm and kills it before it goes into his stomach. I want to thank you so much for the videos that you make I have learned quite a bit from you and I appreciate you taking the time to educate people because I love my Ricky

[@J17-s3b]

Same here

[@GarrettRose]

I usually keep a supply of mealworms in a bowl for my Leo's 24/7, they won't eat them all at once sometimes it takes them 2-3 days. Most breeders do it this way with good success because it keeps your geckos weight good. It is 100% healthy and safe

[@addi1091]

wait when you said nymphs you meant dubia roaches right??

5 crickets and 10 worms every 4 days

[@roshanefrazier4586]

I put 10-13 mealworms in my gecko's food bowl and he usually eats almost all of them, so for me that's a good amount

[@leopardgeckotalk]

@Jade yes I think that would be fine :)

[@cjoys256]

Would it be ok if you gave your gecko only gut loaded crickets or do you need the variety of crickets and meal worms?

i am looking at getting a gecko what powders do you use and how much/often

[@williamsduran3232]

what if your gecko is shy about other food

[@battlefieldveteransa8024]

I rescued two from a bad home and never owned em before so this helped a lot just a quick question tho do I put fruit in with meal worms before giving them to the geckos? And I've had them for two days and they haven't eaten a thing they are between 6-12 months and looks like a few tips of the claws on the male are missing they haven't been looked after at all well is the best thing for me to do take them to a pet shop and enquire about this or try and just make sure they are looked after from now on by myself they do seem happy and get about ok just abit concerned as you can imagine

[@rashunda1481]

i don't think wax worms are best to feed so often maybe have superworms instead. waxworms are addictive, fatty, and more of a treat then staple.

[@apeddie3777]

I like that you always clarify about the two different powders. When I first got my gecko I didn't find anything about the vitamin powder till I found your channel. Lucky I found this before I got her. She's chunkier and healthier than when I got her so thank you for your channel. It's helped so much

[@forhonorclips6888]

My gecko wouldn’t eat until I fed it with chopsticks, lol I guess he’s Chinese.

[@edithgee8643]

Micah Pobursky he’s probably used to getting fed by tongs , wherever you got him from, but I was told to not allow them to get used to this type of feed, but to me, what’s most important is that he eats 💪🏾

This was very helpful.Thankyou so much!

[@paydenchance4034]

We got a leopard gecko yesterday how do you know how old it is make a video please for more information 😃

[@fionashepley478]

If it has stripes, it's a baby. They turn into spots as the gecko ages (this only applies to wild type Leos). Babies often scream/bite, and young geckos are more excited around food, less accurate when hunting, and get spooked more easily. Hope this helped!

[@hamiltontrash9151]

Fiona Shepley Well,it actually depends on the morph because not all morphs have stripes

[@calciumshark2908]

Payden Chance how long is the gecko 5 inches are like 3 months

[@josephgamertv9284]

The dislikes are a from all the feeder insects

[@doomreach2253]

What happens if you over feed them?

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Gabriel Cush then they get overweight and unhealthy.

[@mitchellsheppard2998]

Bro the gecko will eat more than me proportionally, no way any gecko is eating 10 large meal worms. To be honest from their body you would think they’d only want 4 big ones and than maybe a big cricket or 2. They’d be eating more than us proportionately. If they ate 20 small ones that be absurd to right?!? If im wrong do not berate because we are humans who make mistakes and their really isn’t information on them like how freshwater fish and stuff like that have so much

[@nightinggale6470]

Generally 5-8 feeders per feeding is a good amount. Mealworms aren’t healthy for their main diet and should make up no more than 25% of their diet.

[@hafizimovic4175]

i have no problems with cricket and mealworms but when i heard or see roaches i would say to myself NO!!!

Congrats and good luck!

[@kadehosznyak5530]

can I feed a gecko just meal worms or do I have to do multiple live critters as I hae a small house with cat and dog and don't want a cricket escaping when trying to feed

[@nightinggale6470]

You can’t feed them just mealworms. They’re not healthy for their main diet, and a varied diet is important. You can feed mainly live roaches, which are much less likely to escape than crickets. Even with crickets it’s pretty easy to avoid them escaping.

[@tywilson9038]

When I bought my geko nobody at petco never told me to give them vitamins

[@fionashepley478]

Petstores give terrible advice. You need vitamins unless you want your gecko to get metabolic bone disease

[@reptile_girls123y7]

Me either

[@shiinyan999]

So its 5-8 crickets and 5-10 mealworms a day for 1 gecko??

[@fionashepley478]

You feed them about 8 insects total. Daily if a baby, every 3-4 days if an adult. It's best to vary their diet :)

[@davidtsang7713]

Btw please do a video on how much and often you feed your gecko please :)

[@Brianna_Hayes]

Can you feed them veggies and can you just feed them meal worms and how much do you feed them everyday like is it once a day?

[@fionashepley478]

You can’t feed them veggies. You can’t just feed them mealworms, they’re fatty and difficult to digest. Feed mainly live Dubia or discoid roaches, or crickets. Other worms you can use for variety include silkworms, black soldier fly larvae, superworms, and hornworms. Feed once a day for geckos under six months, every other day 6-12 months, and every 3-4 days/twice a week over a year.

[@gonycreates8987]

My gecko eats ANYTHNIG!!! Once my gecko ate a ladybug

[@fionashepley478]

Are you intentionally feeding him some wild insects? That's not a good idea

[@antizombie196]

My gecko once accidently ate a piece of vegetable and she seemed to like it idk lol

[@morganm1486]

did you feed it to him on purpose? you shouldn't feed them wild bugs. it needs the correct supplements and you don't know what it could have been eating. that could seriously harm, or even kill, your gecko.

[@kikipaisley]

I realy love your videos so much you realy help me get ready for my lepard gecko because me and my parents have decided to get me one for my birthday and you realy have made a difference in my life thank you.And I will use supplements for sure.

[@grantworrell3848]

My geckos 2 years old and he will never come out of his hide and I want to see him more it defeats the purpose of having one what do I do?

[@lesliebuenrostro3859]

Are you using a heat lamp or any type of light? That could be the issue as Leopard Geckos have sensitive eyes. What I usually do is keep my bedroom window shades open to let in natural light so they can distinguish night and day and it wont bother it because its not in direct sunlight aswell.

[@trinityignagni41]

Grant Worrell mine does that too.

[@brahim9709]

Think if you are a gecko you are prey - You would only come out for food or to poop, drink lick calcium etc. Hence why they do not come out that often.

[@wonkybee7612]

They are nocturnal for one. Mine only come out when the sun has set. Sometimes early morning as well. Also they use heating pads to digest food and they will lay on it for the entire day.

[@morganm1486]

@@lesliebuenrostro3859 do you still use anything for heat though?

[@marcojozuafabiano5006]

is it okay if my gecko only has 2 crickets a day? he is 2 months old now

[@fionashepley478]

That's not enough. he should be fed as many as he'll eat in fifteen minutes. 8 is a good amount.

[@bubblegumlover1654]

Can a leopard gecko eat mealworms

[@crazyplantlady4382]

yes if u have the right temp on your hot side then they will have no problem digesting them

[@Ch33sed00dl3]

Bubble gum Lover yes

[@morganm1486]

yes, you can get them online or at local pet stores. you do need to dust them with the correct supplement for nutritional value, though.

[@rileymartin4935]

But don’t u have to buy like 300 a month for a baby leopard gecko cuz they would eat like ten a day

[@vanengelhardt7586]

Probably but mealworms are super cheap

[@evanhewitt6847]

If i have a uvb light do i also need to put calcium and mineral supplements in the food?

[@nightinggale6470]

Yes, when using UVB you still need to supplement with calcium and multivitamins. You just need to use supplements without d3.

[@missalaya7449]

No offense to anyone, but how would you not know how often to feed them? You're supposed to research for a reason(so you can look after the gecko), so if you're asking that you'd kinda sound like you're not a responsible owner.

[@luckyducky853]

No offence but alot of people say different answers cause I did research for months and months and still am and they always say something different (or at least the stuff i watch is different) and she has been doing this a very long time and they want to know from someone with a lot of experience

[@fishlore3204]

Everybody says something different because evry gecko is different. Some like to eat once a wewk some like to eat a few times a week. Some eat 10 crickets per feeding others eat 5-8. And this could be apart of their research before they get their new gecko.

[@briannapeffley993]

What the hell are you even talking about? This IS the research. This is STILL the information you search for on how to feed the cricket. Since you already know how to feed crickets, this video isn't for you then.

[@missalaya7449]

lucky ducky Yeah but the main things that they eat are the things that are written over and over again on each website.

[@missalaya7449]

Brianna Peffley I didn't say it wasn't research, but what they eat is so easy to figure out that you shouldn't have to ask someone to make a video on it.

[@endo77x7]

Hi! Give Red Runners a try if you can get them. They are fast moving, softer bodied, and the adults are the perfect size for most Geckos! :D Green Banana Roaches are equally great, but adults can fly and climb. Runners can do neither, but move quickly! Great for feeding response and they usually have an attractive smell to most insectivorous herps.

[@dorito6720]

This is so helpful! Especially for my future baby (or adult, I don’t know yet) leopard gecko

[@jamiekelly2929]

Actually Leopard geckos are crepuscular not nocturnal.

[@nightinggale6470]

They’ve been reclassified as cathemeral, active periodically throughout day and night.

[@salsoteca72]

Why can't I feed geckos under 6 months waxworms? Just curious, I don't really feed waxworms yet. Edit: forgot to ask, can dried mealworms be a staple? I used to feed live, it just costs way too much plus shipping to USA :/

[@yadhirahernandez363]

My friend recently got a leopard gecko, but she says that it's still a baby, but she only ever feeds it dried meal worms because she said she said she doesn't want to handle live food for the leopard gecko, and on top of that, she doesn't offer any supplements for him/her, is this okay? I don't have a Leopard gecko personally but I don't believe this is healthy and because she is a new reptile owner I am a bit concerned

[@fionashepley478]

Dark Spirit that’s not good at all. Without supplements her gecko will get metabolic bone disease, which is really horrible. The gecko needs multivitamins, calcium, and d3. Calcium with d3 is the most important. Dead insects have absolutely no nutritional value, they need live insects. Please tell her this!

[@somebodytouchamebreasts7668]

Dried food has no nutritional values to the gecko, my baby gecko eats medium locust - 2-3 everyday. No more no less. If she wants to not have to handle the hopping around, get mealworms (don't let them into the substrate, they will burrow) and then have locust/crickets every so often. Bare in mind locust/crickets stimulate the gecko and it keeps them active. Mealworms are harder to digest because of their exoskeleton. Preferably use locust/crickets (they are fine once you are used to them) they can also hand feed their gecko using their hands or tongs and pass it to the gecko. (this won't stimulate them) get the right sized locust/crickets (if it's a baby get small or medium) and make sure the feeding bowl if they have mealworms is accessible.

[@leopardgeckolover7661]

[@cacophonousscream5948]

[@jeffreycalvin8391]

Leopard Geckos don't need calcium powder because they aren't basking lizards.

[@meminem6403]

My 4-year-old gecko used to eat only waxworms. I’m still in the process of switching her over to Dubia roaches but she is pretty stubborn. Wish me luck.

[@DizzleMCSTANG88]

I want to say that you should never feel bad about repeating that information about the supplements. Just remember you are combating a lot of the bad info pets mart has put out. And sometimes you get new listeners. Have you thought about breeding on a commercial level? And if not why not?

[@siennacombatantofthehollow9668]

Hi, I was just wondering how often I should give my crested gecko repashy? Thanks

[@Assimilator702]

I would feed my gecko 3 or 4 crickets per day and few meal worms dusted with vitamin and calcium power for 4 days. After that I would feed him 5 worms and one cricket per day as long as he would eat. That way if I wasn’t home to feed him one day he would be ok. And yes I would also but load the crickets and meal worms first. He lived a LONG time.

I don’t know if I should continue doing this or what I should do at this point. Is she really overweight or is she just bigger than most?

[@heidi3481]

hi, I got a leopard gecko 2 days ago, she's doing great (only about a month old), the breeder we got her from said she was mixing meal worms and pinhead crickets. we gave her 5 meal worms and 5 crickets but she will only get the meal worms, the next day we tried just the crickets and she still wouldn't eat them. as soon as meal worms were put in, she ate them. I'm curious if this is a problem? it's the first reptile I owned and although I did months of research I want what is the absolute best! please help

alrighty, good info, like I said on instagram, Im going to feed him some supers because thats whats coming in but I will order some crickets and dubias or will see if the pet shops here have good quality feeders. Im picky with franchise pet shop quality though so Id rather order from a specialized place. I ordered my supers from pangeareptile; the same place I got Gallan, my crestie, and they also sell crickets

My geckos picky I can’t feed him mealworms but he might be eating the crickets I Think he is cuz his old owner fed him them and his tail is really fat

Great video. My Leopard Gecko switches from having me feed it in the morning to then letting the food run free until night time.

Interesting my gecko... until last week he ate only mealworms, he is 2 yrs old, now he eats only crickets, i tryed to give him wax worms but doesnt even want to see them, is this normal?

[@sion7651]

[@clumsy_zebra_97]

Can i feed my gecko dried meal worms?

[@fionashepley478]

No! Live insects only. Feed mainly crickets or Dubia roaches with worms for variety

[@justingrissom8491]

My Gecko only eats meal worms nothing else unless I'm feeding him he will only eat meal worms by him self not crickets or superworms I have a rain water albino leopard Gecko that is a female and it is a giant not a super giant like urs do u think it is the type of Gecko that causes this?

Can I give my gecko gutloaded freeze dried crickets??

[@LilCheesyBean]

I watched your video about MBD and I know that geckos get weak, spongy leg bones but what does it mean if they have a swollen leg?

[@fionashepley478]

Best to check it out at an exotic vet.

[@chrisderrickson956]

[@crystalrose8210]
