Answer 1

NO thereinsectivores.

Crickets, meal-worms, wax worms for adult leopard geckos. Hatching's and juveniles should be fed small, appropriately sized crickets only. Adult leopard geckos will also eat an occasional pinkie mouse. Crickets should be dusted with calcium/D3 powder and vitamin supplements at every feeding for hatching's and juveniles, and every other feeding for adults. Avoid wild caught insects

Answer 2

actually yes they can i fed mine carrots and lettuce but every once in a while its not their favorite hope that helps

Answer 3

No.  Your Leopard gecko does not eat vegetables, but his FOOD needs to, so he can get the nutrients he needs from them.

GUT LOAD for insects:

=Equal parts of dry: oatmeal, iguana food, and chick starter mash should be provided for the insects at all times (keep unused portion in refrigerator or freezer till needed).

=Suppliment daily with fresh fruits and vegetables (water cress, apple, kale, pear, collard greens, peach, green bean, orange wedge, pumpkin-zucchini-yellow-butternut-acorn-... squashes, mango, and any other nutritious vegetable/fruit you can think of).

=Avoid Avacado (poisonous), Spinach & broccoli (bind calcium), and cabbage.

Dust his gut loaded insects in reptile vitamins and calcium powder with D3 (keep these refrigerated to prolong the life of the vitamins) every other day.  Provide a bowl of calcuim w/D3 in the habitat.  When you see that your gecko is taking calcium from the bowl as needed, you can stop dusting his insects with it, and just continue dusting with the reptile vitamins.

Please do not feed your gecko meal worms or keep it on a loose substrate:

He will need a moisture hide:
