what do geckos eat?
Geckos are predatory animals. This means that a lot of a geckos day is spent hunting for food. Geckos eat insects mainly due to their abundance. They like to eat crickets mostly but will generally eat anything they can catch. It is very important to ensure the crickets are not too big for your pet to handle, never feed a gecko a cricket that is larger than its head in size. Geckos when in captive will also eat meal worms and wax worms. Wax worms should be given as a treat maybe 3 worms per week at most. Baby geckos will eat fruit flies. The species drosophila are the most popular. Feed your gecko twice a day in the beginning months. Reduce to twice a week when they are over 7 months old. When your gecko reaches adult size you can introduce a pinkie mouse into their diet to keep them at their healthiest.
