I ran a search on the forum looking for whether or not you can feed a leo gecko earth worms? like those which you can buy at a fish tackle place? Like what they call Dillys or even trout worms, they're super small about the size of a meal worm. Any thoughts would help.

From what i know you shouldnt feed them earthworms because they are simply to large.

Earthworms secrete a mucus that leos probably won't appreciate. You also need to keep in mind that worms have a gut full of soil and that might be a problem unless you soak the worm in cold water to evacuate it's digestive tract.

I do keep earthworms & i feed em soaked bird pellets. I just keep em to make them fatter (breeding them is hard). How bout chopped earthworms if they r 2 big.

P.S : I always wash/clean earthworms before i feed em 2 my herps.
