Beef up my leopard gecko

luiscastaneda90 Dec 25, 2010 09:24 PM

any suggestions to really beef up my leos?
I want them to fatten up because they seem pretty small for their age (6months) another (1 year) (separate cages). Ive seen some that are the same age and are HUGE and FAT. any suggestions on what to feed them?

use wax worms but remember those are a treat but they fatten them up quick, also use superworms. Make sure you have the supplements to feed them up. That will work great. Try that stuff.

Your best bet to put weight on a gecko is mealworms or superworms. I would strongly state to not feed your geckos wax worms due to the very high fat conent. You also don't want to put a lot of weight on your gecko in a short time due to diseases such as fatty liver disease that could kill your gecko.
