best food to fatten up a leo but not mice or catpilers. Be
cause i need to fatten up 1 of my leos.

I don't know if you would count waxworms ar caterpillars but you can also use superworms.

 

[got spots?]

Wax worms if you don't mind useing them.
Pinkies r amazing for fattening though. but should only be used for emergency.

Waxworms are good except your gecko could get addicted to waxworms and not eat anything else

Waxworms are treats to my geckos. They only get them about once a month if that. To fatten up a gecko i have to say they are number 1 on my list.

My first choice would be ROACHES but that's not the list, next would be Supers.

is this as a staple food? i mean is your gecko skinny or just down a few grams? wax worms as a treat every now and them are fine and have more fat in them than anything else listed but they should be used sparingly. however if you just want to feed your geckos a good staple diet to fatten him up roaches are the best but not available all the time and some geckos are picky about them. so other than those the best to fatten up a gecko is just to feed it, i would start with mealies and as it eats i would go to supers. if this happens to be a gravid female a pinky every now and then is good to keep her weight up during egg laying season

SUPER DUPER WORMS!!

Why not caterpillars? I think silkworm + roach is a good healthy combo.

My first choice would be lobster roaches also and they are not on the list...

 

[Enigmatic_Reptiles]

Roaches are ideal. However I agree with pretty much everything robin said

Wax worms or Super worms.
