Hey, i was just wondering what is the best thing to get my female leopard gecko big and fat for next breeding season. I heard hornworms are really good however i don't have any in the area i am in.
Thanks!:main_yes:

Just feed her a variety of what's available and be sure to supplement her appropriately. No need to stuff her. Please check to be sure you're putting your post in the correct sub forum. I'm moving this to the right place.

A couple breeders in my area told me that they use "red hot" pinkie mice right after a clutch is laid to get them back up to a good weight for the next one. But not to over do it because they are really high in fat and could pose as a choking hazard if you get one too big. And that the distance between the Leo's eyes is about how wide it should be. I haven't tried it because my female has yet to lay but I guess it works pretty good for putting weight on between clutches

Jayu_Patidur - Dust mealworms, crickets, etc... With calcium once a week, but always keep a calcium dish in with your Leo. If you have a normal size Leo I suggest breeding het at about 55 Grams, if you have a giant leo I would wait till about 85-90 + grams. Also gutload your crickets, mealworms, superworms.

Yeah I always have a calcium dish in there and I gut load my crickets and mealworms. I just need to get her a bit more fat(she's at 46 grams at the moment).
Thanks!!

I have a gabf and I fatten him up with hornworms, but I am not sure if that would be good for a leopard gecko?
