How do i feed my mexican banded gecko?

Question

i have a mexican or central american banded gecko. and have read about them but it just says to feed them 3 to 4 times a week. my question is how. should i just put the crickets in her cage or is there a special way to feed them?

Answer 1

They should be gutloaded live crickets and some other things for variety.  Gutloading is giving extra vitamins to the crickets to make sure they're very healthy, and that in turn passes on nutrition to your gecko.  

The main diet can be gut-loaded crickets of appropriate size. Other small insects such as locusts, spiders & the occasional waxworm should be offered for variation. Feed three to four times a week, with vitamin & mineral supplements added every other feed. Calcium is especially important and is best provided in a small bowl for the geckos to help themselves.
