So when I went to the pet store down the street to get mealworms they had butterworms in. I bought 5. Can my leos eat them? They are just a little fatter than the mealies they have beeen eating, so I figured that they should be fine. Does anybody know if they are ok to feed? I don't want to give them to my leos if they can hurt them. Thanks for any help.

Your leopard geckos can definitely eat butterworms. It is good to vary the diet of you reptiles. Butterworms have a higher calcium percentage than most other insects that are commonly used as feeders for reptiles which is very good (especially when breeding). I think the only feeder higher in calcium is the phoenix worm.
