I have just aquired a gecko and was wondering what their favorite food were, crickets, mealworms any vegies or fruit????

Leopard geckos won't normally eat vegetables, although I have heard of some that would take it.
They are carnivores and a diet of gutloaded mealworms and crickets will provide a great source of nutrition for your leo.
You can also offer superworms, a few wax worms now and then, and a pinky mouse when they get big enough to take one every other week or once a month for a treat.

good luck!

Thank you!!!

mainly a staple diet of either gutloaded crickets or mealworms (make sure you dust them with calcium powder & supplements before feeding! ) they also like treats - ONE wax worm once every other week... and don't feed it too often because they're VERY addicting and your leo can avoid all other foods if you feed it a lot of waxies. they like live foods the best and most of the time won't accept anything bottled or canned that are already dead. also, leos don't really like veggies or fruits~ take care and good luck with your leo - if you have any more questions, you know where 2 go!

Seems like a very small # for a treat
Twinkies come in 2 packs for a reason lol
I usually give mine 4 or 5 then back to mealies the next feeding no problems.
But I do agree with you about them being addictive, I've seen a few people on here asking how to get them off waxies, but I think they can handle a few a week without being addicted.
Good idea to play it safe though rather than have to go through waxie withdrawl
