Eating every other day

[Spencerg]

My female leo has been eating but every other day is this because of the season change?

Could be, colder weather could factor into leopard gecko's feeding behavior. But as geckos get older they will also naturally eat less. As hatchlings & juveniles, they'll want to eat every day. But once they start getting to sub-adult age, they'll likely want to eat every other day or so. Adults should want to eat every 2-3 days.

My female who is doing this is almost 8 months so every. Other day is good? But my male he eats like he too and 5 years LosLos

I go by weight more than age. I feed geckos below 25g every day. Those 25-40g every other day and adults over 60g that aren't breeding twice a week. I find if I feed more often they aren't really hungry and they get super fat.

My adult will eat every day if I let her. However, when she does this, she'll eat very small quantities. I try to feed her every third day.
