Leopard Gecko secondary food?

Hey guys im sick of buying Crickets every week for my leo, so im just wondering if there is like a fruit mix that i can make them, or if they like CDG, thanks.

No Leos do not eat fruit. And probably wouldn't eat anything that was just sitting there. Their vision is based on movement when it comes to food. You could try a type of worm. Maybe phoenix worms.

many people use mealies as a staple diet and you can pick up a good 5000 for 50 bucks at the expo this month also you could give supers and maybe try hornworms I fed my afts a 3" hornworm and they loved it and my male HATES worms but this one he just shredded it

and mealworms last for long-long time in the fridge.

Yea, I use mealies/superworms as a staple, and then crickets when I can get them.

ya mealworms would sound good to me too.

Things like waxworms and pinkies can also be given as very occasional treats. (but are very fattening if given too often)

just stick with crickets i find them the to be the best of all feeders but some people wood disagree with me but what ever is easier for ya
