Insectivore diets are naturally low in calcium and many insects sold as “gut-loaded” are not fed an appropriately calcium rich diet prior to being sold.We recommend using “Rep-Cal”, from Zoo-med, as a supplement.Adults should be fed every 2-4 days and the insects should be dusted with a calcium/Vitamin D 3 supplement twice weekly and every other week with a multivitamin.Crickets should be staple part of the diet for Leopard Geckos, but they can also be fed waxworms, earthworms, mealworm larvae or wild-caught insects such as fruit flies, flies, moths or grasshoppers in small amounts.Leopard geckos can be affected by a variety of diseases and this article discusses the 10 most common problems. Leopard geckos weigh 45 to 80 grams, are 20 to 25 cm in length, with males being larger than females, and can live twenty to almost thirty years. They breed readily in captivity and most are now captive born in the United States. Winter temperatures can get down to 50☏ forcing them to brumate. In the wild they are nocturnal and hide under rocks or burrows during the day. The leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius, is native to south central Asia from southern Afghanistan, throughout Pakistan and northwestern India.
