great to see and as always variety feeding is so important. Locusts have a larger gut than smaller livefoods, so the transfer of live gut culture and Gutload is increased. In order to pass this on in a highly bioavailable way we now suggest that they are prefed and hydrated and heated for at least an hour to 32 degree. This then allows the transfer of the gut cultures. A species well worth including within variety feeding and especially good around the breeding months for both species. They are also a larger animal, less are required to fill the animal than smaller livefoods. For me, my go to foods are these locusts, brown house crickets, calciworms and soldier flies. Then morios and waxworms in smaller amounts during the month. I limit roach feeding due to the high level of P, but again, they are fine when measured within variety feeding. Good use of ReVitaliseD3, a nice light dusting.

Oh I just saw your comment and I had actually asked this in a seperate comment, but is there a specific formula to leopard gecko supplementation, ie x mcg of calcium per g of bodyweight or something of the sort? I hate guessing, of course the gutloaded amount is a variable in this but it would tremendously help to have a baseline to work with! I would really appreciate a reply back Also, I have been desperately trying to get my hands on the shade dweller and dhp (in the US) but every company that carries it is out of stock. I have emailed them all (yep I did that) asking if they had a rough approximate date on when it may be back in stock but the ones I've heard back from have not thus far had an answer. Do you have any insight as to when more shipments will be going to the US? And could you possibly give me some more retailer names that carry your products because all I'm looking at right now is reptilesupply, Josh's frogs, bio dude and pangea. Thanks!

How do you best gut load your insects please? I feed a single Leopard Gecko which we have owned for 3 months now and I keep a variety of foods for him inc locusts, dubia, morio and meal worms. I have been making sure they have food in the tubs I am keeping them in on a daily basis but the Retile Network article file I have just read recommends to split the food you intend to feed your reptile 12 hours before and then gut load and hydrate to the maximum. I am using the Arcadia insect fuel, bug gel for hydration plus a variety of veg which is all topped up and they are kept under the Viv. Is my method obtaining sufficient nutritional value to the insects or should I be feeding less often to make sure they are fully loaded before feeding to my Gecko. Many thanks.

@@speedymadr6 i keep reading you are supposed to gutload 24 hrs before feeding Not at all saying I'm 100% sure that's correct, that's just what I keep reading but I'm going to keep looking around if I see any other info out there. But I will primarily be dusting and offering the supplement in a dish so gutloading is secondary to me. Would be nice to get some input. I had my question too but I guess they didn't get the notification about a reply 🙁

@@leopardgeckotalk, I have a question. Please reply. I got a new baby leo last week. She's albino and really hates light. I was wondering this. I did a bunch of research before getting her and when I got her, we bought calcium mixed with vitimen d3. Do I still need to use the uvb lamp( wich is 5.0 lowest I could find) when I use the cal/D3? I don't want to over dose her ,Plus like I said she hates light and is basically living in darkness right now. So my question is as long as she still gets the vitimen d3 do I still need a uvb lamp. I've been taking as much advise from your videos as possible but I can't find anything on what I just said. Please help P.S. I also got her multivitamins.

Yesterday I went to my local PetCo to get some things for my leopard gecko I will be getting later this month. While there I very surprised when I saw the food in every tank had been dusted. They all used reptile carpet, non sand in sight, I didn’t even see sand to be bought. All of the tanks were a good size for a temporary tank. They all seemed to be happy and active. So shout out to my local PetCo. I wish all of them could do that.

Reptile carpet isn’t a good substrate since it catches their teeth and claws and harbours bacteria. Unfortunately your Petco most likely still gets their animals from mills. It’d be best to avoid buying animals from them.

I like feeding locusts mainly because I think my lizards maybe get kinda bored of always eating the same stuff every day. I also once heard they are a bit more nutritious than crickets so I like to use them as a healthy treat instead of always switching to wax/meal/superworms. Another big bonus is that there is no way locusts will breed year round in your house and become a constant pest, except if you live in a warm climate. And lastly I feel like hunting them is a bit more challenging for the lizard than a regular cricket and thus provides more enrichment.

I offer my Leopard Gecko Morty locusts just to offer him more variety in his diet. I normally feed him 5 to 6 at a time (he is an adult male) I will tong feed him most of them and let him hunt to last few down. I do also have bearded dragons so any that get to big for him don’t go to waste. They work really well for me as Morty won’t eat marrio worms of meal worms so it is nice to offer him some variety. I also only have to buy food for one gecko so 1 tub lasts me a while.

My leopard gecko loves locusts. They are the only feeders she will eat which can be expensive. So she only eats 2x a week

One of my leopard geckos was very turned off by the long back legs of the crickets and would not eat them for about a month. Until I decided I would outsmart him. So I cut or pulled the biggest legs off the back of the crickets and now he takes the crickets every time! 😁 He is much healthier now as well. I had just got him so I was glad to have figured him out.😉

this is great to see somebody having a large enough enclosure for their gecko, you’re very enthusiastic about reptiles. I’m new to explore your channel and I see you have great experience. Aswell, I did see that Ziggy had passed, I very dearly am sorry. If you’re struggling, I read up that think your gecko climbing logs etc to get to a rainbow bridge. Where you’ll be waiting for them when you die. Anyways back to the reptile stuff; I use locusts for my 2 almost 1 year-old geckos. They enjoy them so much. I will absolutely agree with you, they are a nightmare with getting them out. I use tweezers, especially made for feeding reptiles and then either jump and their leg falls off. it also depends on what size your locusts are, I’m currently feeding mine medium. 3-8 weeks: 3-4 9-12 weeks: 5 maximum # medium 1y.o: (how much they can eat in an hour) #medium / large locusts 3y.o + : 4 #large / extra large locusts It also depends on the geckos personality if they are a massive foodie I would recommend these x

One of my geckos favorite food is locusts. Actually the breeder that sold her to me would buy baby locusts when she was baby especially for her. Now she is a massive girl and eats 2 adult locusts

I don't like crickets too much, so my leopard gecko eats locust (4 per feeding usually). She eats 3 different type of bugs, so one tube of locust (size 3) is more or less perfect in quantity up untill they are too big to feed. They are still cool to observe after that though, grow really big, the wings developing fully etc.

I feed my leopard gecko only locusts because she likes them, She is 2 and a half and the only reason I don't use crickets is because they are loud and look weird, I give her 7 or 8 locusts at a time and mealworms at night but I feed her 2 or 3 times a week :)

Locusts are not common feeders here in the states, but I was able to get some at a reptile show right before we locked down for quarantine. Then I couldn't bring myself to feed them to my lizards either, because of their faces. (I have plenty of other feeder bugs at all times, so the geckos didn't go hungry.) I tried to breed the locusts, thinking if I had enough of them I wouldn't feel guilty for feeding them off, but they didn't breed for me and died after a few months. Ah well.
