Gecko Feeding Portions?

[SusieLou]

What do you feed your leopard gecko and how much?

I'm mostly interested in portions. How much do you feed one gecko; how much do you feed two?

Thank you!

I didn't really think that this was a difficult question to answer

I feed mine till they are hungry so 8-10 worms and for crickets I throw 10 in and take whats every left out after an hour. Mine are growing fast and have fat tails =)

Its not difficult Susie, just very objective. Most of my leos are in harems, and I never follow a regular schedule. If any leo runs up when I come in, they get a super worm or two. (There are a couple who are more shy, and I make sure to get them, too.) Juvies get fed daily. On weekends I buy crickets. I toss in 2-10 per adult, and hand feed the shy ones. I've also started a dubia roach colony, so eventually they will mostly replace the crickets. Sometimes I use wax worms as treats. And my breeding females will get a pinkie near the peak of the season. But honestly, I sometimes think leos are easily overfed.

I was worried about overfeeding...

Even if I do overfeed mine, I try at least a couple times a week to let them run around in my basement for some exercise and let them burn some calories!!!

I think any animal will overeat. But using a variety of quality, gutloaded bugs is a good way to avoid problems.

I Feed all my Geckos Daily! Juveniles Get 2 but normally they Steal from each other so most of the time its 2 - 3. And since my Male Adult has his own Cage he gets 3 because he's a lot bigger. So at the End of the week My Adult Male consumes 21 MealWorms and my Other 5 Babies & Juveniles Consume about 80 - 100 Meal Worms a week in total... Im going to start my own Cricket Colony soon

I feed my leopard geckos each day 2-3 for my male which is in his own tank and for my two females in the same tank i put about 6 in.I always powder my crickets with calcium dust.When i feed meal worms i give about 5 to each lizard.(rarely feed mealworms).

i feed my 2 females 2 super worms each every night and wax worms occasionally. and when i can i get them crickets and toss in 10 dusted with calcium in each cage... whatevers left kinda just linger aroung the cage and are gone within the week but i think im going to cut down to 5 in each cage.
