feeding every other day

[vinnie-gecko]

jsut wondering if its ok to feed my leopard gecko every other day. she is 1 year old sometime next month, is 8" and was 50 grams the last time i weighed her. i usually give her 4-5 large crickets

I feed my adult Leos every 2-3 days and about 5-8 Superworms per feeding. One of them is getting TOO chubby and the other is steadily gaining weight still. I'd say you're good to cut back feedings as long as your Leo is already at a healthy weight.

Absolutely. Some breeders feed adults once a week in the off season and juvies every 3 days and their animals are healthy. I prefer to feed my adults 3x per week, subadults every other day and juvies 3 days on and one day off.

I feed my adults 2x a week and breeding females and juveniles under 40g 3x a week so IMO every other day for an adult is A-OK, possibly a bit too much depending on how chunky the gecko is
