I know most people feed their leopard geckos and fat-tailed geckos crickets and mealworms, but does anyone ffed them roaches, and if so how much?

I've tried dubias and lateralis roaches. The lateralis seem too fast for them but they like the dubias! My adults like the med to smaller sizes. They only tear apart adults and then leave the mess. LOL. (we have breeding colonies of roaches, so I can always find the right size, LOL) I use a small cat dish to put the dubias in and the geckos just run up to the chow line!

dubia roaches are great feeders for leos. i feed the adult male roaches to the adult leos. they love them!!! the adult female roaches are a bit chunkier and harder to swallow.

for my hatchling leopard geckos i feed one roach a day that is about the same width as the head. adults get them once a week in addition to crickets and mealworms on the other days.
