Leopard Geckos and mealworms...

[savannahblue]

Ok. So a bought my friend a leopard gecko. I have been reading a lot of contradicting information on proper diet. I know that mealworms/giant mealworms and super worms are generally too fatty as a staple diet for most herps. I have been reading that this does not apply to leopard geckos? Can someone please point me in the direction of some legitimate, credible info on proper diet for leopard geckos.

thanks

I can only tell you that my leo trio has been with me for over 17 years and I feed them well-fed crickets, superworms, silkworms, etc. (no mealworms ever) and once in a while waxworms...all dusted the same way I do for chameleons.

Leopard geckos do well on Superworms, they love them, just dont make it a staple as with any other reptile, Variety and Moderation are best.

i have no links to supply you with for support but i do breed leo's. mealworms are just fine in the diet and as JJ said variety is better.
