ever fed your geckos fruit?

[hondawingsfly]

i had a male when i was younger and he would eat cut up grapes if i put them in there, i think i had read something about it in a book i bought with the gecko but now that im getting more serious and getting ready to breed ive done a lot of reading and havent come across anything to do with it. any opinions?

[hondawingsfly]

[geckoboy16]

i never tried anything other than mealworms and crickets as a staple, haha

"geckos diets do not consist of any vegetables or fruit"

thats what my "The Leopard Gecko In Captivity" book by Robbie Hamper says

 

[RepBex]

any body got pics of geckos eating fruit ?

I've never considered giving a leopard gecko fruit or vegetables. I suppose even though its not in their natural or staple diet, a cut up grape, a bite of watermelon or a quarter sized leaf of lettuce surely cant be bad for a leo in any way right?

I was wondering if they ate fruit too, since we feed our mealies fruit.. they are getting the nutrients from the fruit from the mealies.. ?

yeah, why go thru all that trouble to gut-load when you can just give em the source? LOL! theres a thread that one guy posted about his gecko eating a cherry tomato somwhere here i think.

If I do feed him fruit should put vitamin powder on them.

[leonut]

I gave my lizzard a piece of Watermellon last night, she seemed to like it

I have actually crushed avocado and seen my geckos eat it.

Leopard geccko guacemole lol.

 

[EvoDave101]

i thought they wouldnt eat anything that didnt move? and also im sure i read this somewhere?

 

[Ultrakd]

Well I wiggled the watermeleon and she started liking it then bite it

 

[EvoDave101]

aaah ye thats a good idea but i suppose they will eat pretty much anything that wriggles
