Just type in "Leopard Gecko Caresheet" on a Google search, they will tell you evrything you need. You can try mealworms, superworms, wax worms (once or twice a month), silkworms, butterworms.

What size enclosure are they in?
What are the temps? What are you using for heat?
How many hides?
What are there substrate?

You should use a calcium with vitamin D3 supplement 2-3 times a week and a All vitamin/mineral supplement once a week.
