dont do it. You have absolutely NO clue if the crickets have been gutloaded, my guess is that they haven't. And I know someone whose gecko threw up after eating some CAN o' Crickets.

As a general rule, Leopard Geckos will not eat anything that isn't alive and moving.

they eat the calcium from a dish because they are lacking it. It is a simple response to inadequate calcium. THey eat there dead skin because it is extremely high in nutrients and is a very good meal. If you were a lizard who might only eat once a day or every other day and you got a big meal right in front of you would YOU eat it? i would.

I hate that stuff lol, it's so useless, i'm sorry but why not get 20 for $1.00, instead of 20 for $4.00, I mean cmon, and they are already dead, and leopard prefer alive, I can't get them to eat dead things, but if you are rich, then go ahead get a can of that every week. Thank you.

you can buy a hundred mealorms instead of crickets, a hundred mealworms might last you 1 month at most for a hatchling.

i am sure there is more than a single pet store within 20 minutes drive from your home (unless you live in a rural area). Also you can order mealworms from online and purchase a 2-3 month supply and keep them in the fridge except the ones that you will be feeding and you take those out for 24 hours of gutloading.

All I have to say is that by people telling you not to buy this product they are giving you the input you asked for. None of use it because it's no good. By people telling you not to buy this product they are infact answering your posted question. All I have to say is that your not bright are yah.
