I guess you could feed silkworms,mealworms I don't feed either. They should fatten up on there own if they are being breed (females will make themselves fatter for laying its a natural thing) as long as they get fed a good diet.

I would not feed my geckos babyfood (it is high in sugar) try just mashed fresh fruit ir CGD
