how should i fatten up my gecko

[thetrevsta]

I have a juvie thats very small due to an aggresive gecko in the same tank moved the aggressieve gecko and i was wondering what a good healthy way to fatten up my gecko?

Regular meals of mealies, supers and the occasional treat of a waxworm will do the trick.

My guys are mostly on supers, but love mealies too (I have one small male who will only eat mealies).

Making sure temps are correct will help too, as well as having a good set up so that the gecko is not stressing

Roaches will do the trick!

For some reason I'm not a fan of waxworms and I don't like to use them to "fatten" up a leo. I rather give my leo a healthy diet that contains properly gutloaded and supplemented feeders, in my case I now use Roaches and see Supers as the fatty treat. But if you want to throw in a few waxworms in from time to time it shouldn't be a problem.

But you shouldn't worry. As long as the leo is healthy with reduced stressed and willing to eat it'll fatten up within a few weeks on its own.

Just get some superworm's and throw some carrots or potatoes in with em, they will eat em and get packed full of nutriance and your gecko will grow like a weed!
