How often do you feed your geckos?

 

[fl_orchidslave]

It depends on how old they are.

 

[clemsonguy1125]

Typically every other day or when she eats all the mealworms in her dish, so sometimes every three days. She is about 10 months old

 

[leoguy1]

I have some adults that i feed every other day.

 

[Holly12]

Well when I had my leos I would feed them every other day and sometimes every 2 days.

 

[RakesRepts]

I keep a dish of mealworms in each enclosure at all times . . . is this not advisable?

 

[AreUaBadfish2]

Everyday... mine's still a young juvenile. I dust them almost every feeding, but will use non-dusted crickets on occasion as well.

 

[fl_orchidslave]

My babies and young juvs have a dish available at all times. As I said before, it depends how old YOUR gecko is as to feeding schedule recommendation.

 

[Taquiq]

I feed adults every other day to every 3 days. Hatchlings get fed everyday.

 

[Adirondackgeckos]

Every third day for adults, every other day for juvies and everyday for the babies.

 

[MiamiLeos]

I chose "other" because I go with the free feeding method. My geckos always have mealies in their bowls and eat when they want. I'm sure some of them eat every day, while others may eat only twice a week. I let them decide

 

[Reptis]

I feed mine every day and there is continuously a dish of mealworms in his cage. Almost every time I dust them w\h calcium powder. the mealies are in it too.

 

[leopardgeckogeek1600]

I try to feed my gecko' everyday. I can sometimes forget though and do it everyother day. I breed mine so it gies them more nutrition and it fattens them up alot more.

 

[SeyrenEremes]

I feed my leos every day with 3 crickets (1-3 mont leos) & 5 crickets (4month-1year leos), and than every 1 year I give 2 more crickets. if they not eat all crickets I replace with the fresh 1 bcoz I dont want that crickets transfer any parasite to my leos

 

[Kotori]

Well I usually feed mine a few crickets every day (1-3). was too sick to feed him for a few days (And my dad forgot...) So I fed him almost a dozen (Maybe closer to six) then gave him a day to digest before feeding him another 2.

So basically, small meals every day, or a big meal every few days....Any idea which is healthier?

Ditto. I let my Nemo decides what he want to eats whatever i put in his dish, sometimes I would feed it everyday to make him interest in eating superworms. He sometimes ignore them lol.

 

[SDCowboy]

I feed my rather hefty juvenile every day, as much as she can eat and leave a dish of mealies in the tank.

 

[ReptileWorld]

I feed the adult leopards about 3 days a week

the adult cresteds every other day

baby cresteds everyday

 

[Kaoticfury]

I feed my leo everyday, but one day i feed about 8 or 9, and the next day he'll only eat about 4. It just keeps rotating like that.

 

[panthergecko]

i am planning on keeping them at a steady 70 with fat tail but not to fat
how would i do this without starving my gecko?
