What to feed leopard geckos?

Question

i ran out of worms and crikets about 2 hours ago. my geckos are on a feeding schedule and need to be fed at 6:00 am is there anything else i can feed them until i get to the store?

Answer 1

I agree with been there.  My daughter and I have 2 leopard geckos and they don't eat every day.  Leopard geckos are really quite hardy and will live off the fat they store in their tails for long periods of time if they have to.  Just one night will have no effect on them.

Answer 2

Honestly, they will survive quite well without eating at 6am tomorrow. There is nothing else you can offer them, and as was already said, catching bugs outside is just too dangerous. Leopard geckos have fat tails for a reason, they are able to go quite some time without eating or drinking (they are native to extreme desert conditions). I promise your geckos will not suffer the few extra hours, or even whole day, for you to get to the store. Even if it's a baby, it can handle it.

Answer 3

Not really.  You never want to use wild bugs for your domestic reptiles.  They can carry parasites, disease, and pesticides.

So, just let the little guys tough it out till tomorrow.  They will be fine (but you might want to buy a few extra insects for their feeding tomorrow).

Enjoy your pets.

Answer 4

No and dont go outside and find bugs they could have harmful chemicals on them
