What foods other than mealworms, crickets, or waxworms can I feed my leopard gecko? He's about full grown and 3 years old. I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other healthy options that a leopard gecko could eat? Thank you: D
A varied diet is the best diet for a leopard gecko.
This is what I feed all of my leo's:
Roaches (Dubia, Turkistan, Discoids, etc.)
Silkworms
Phoenix worms
Butterworms
Fruit Flies
Isopods
Superworms
Hornworms
Spikes (Blue Bottle Fly larvae)
You probably know this already, but dusting the food in calcium powder is highly recommended by this website.

It also recommends vitamin D and other vitamins, although to use them sparingly and not on the same day as the calcium.
A number of sites recommend gut-loading crickets as follows ...
You can gut-load crickets 24-48 hours prior to feeding them to your leopard geckos. Take your crickets and put them in a rubbermaid container and then feed them either chicken feed or cricket food.

Locusts and dubia roaches are a good choice. They are actually very nutricious for your gecko. You can also feed superworms occasionally. However, many people will tell you that it is okay to feed pinky mice. This is not true. Leopard geckos are strictly insectivores and should never be fed mice.
There are alot of different insect foods available to feed your leopard gecko. Most of the time its about finding someone who actually stocks them. Here are a couple of insects which will help give your leopard gecko a fantastic and varied diet:
Locust
Phoenix Worm
Silkworm
Dried Mealworm
Dried Flies
Garden Insects (if you know they have no pesticides on them)
