How many large mealworms per day?

how many large mealworms per day does your gecko eat?"

I just got a Tremper giant a couple of weeks ago, and he can easily eat 16-20 large regular mealworms a night. He just ATTACKS them...it is pretty hunny to watch.

P.S. This is my first post. Hi everybody!!!

I don't feed large mealworms. I feed the regular sized ones and they're always fresh in a bowl for them to eat. I do feed superworms, but not daily, i'd say about 3 or 4 times a week. Each gecko usually eats about 3 or 4 of them. They enjoy crickets quite a bit as well. I try and feed those daily, and usually I get each to eat around 6-8 at a time.

Mine easily eats twelve or so large (as in, the largest normal size) mealworms every other day, though of course some are smaller than others.

I was keeping about 10 per gecko in the dish per day but a couple of my geckos started getting fatter than I would like. So now I feed them about 10 every other day. They usually eat them all.

I just feed mine till he stops eating - I only have one, so I've got plenty of free time to drop them around and make him "hunt" for 'em. :tongue3:

Adult Leos: 10 medium-large meal worms, every other day, alternated with Turkistan roaches

Hatchlings/Juvies: small-medium meal worms available 24/7(dish), small-medium turk roaches 2x a week.

I feed my juvies that are around 20-25 grams 2 superworms every night, and i dust them with calcium powder every other day. I find that as far as feeders go, superworms can't be touched by any other feeder. Packed full of protein and vitamins perfect for a growing baby that u want to be a nice full size grown leopard gecko. Dubia Roaches and Lobster Roaches are right up there aswell as far as how much protein they have, but i only feed those to them here and there, whenever my buddy hooks me up with some.

When my juvies get to about 35 grams or so, i'll feed them every other day, and either 2 or 3 superworms. As far as protein and all that stuff goes, superworms can't be touched and are by far the best feeder full of all that good stuff!!! lol I have always only fed them superworms, and since doing so, i have noticed how much more healthier they are and they growth rate they show is so much greater than any other!!! Can't go wrong with a super!!!
