Leopard geckos are crepuscular species, meaning they sleep during the day and awaken to hunt at dusk.
Leopard geckos, like all reptiles, need a variety of insects in order to thrive. They will eat mealworms, superworms, crickets and waxworms as part of their diet.

Calcium Plus
Supplementing your leopard gecko’s diet with calcium is an essential step in keeping them healthy. Not only does it prevent disease, promote healthy growth and enhance their quality of life, but adding calcium supplements can also help ensure their success in school or other academic pursuits.
Calcium is an essential nutrient for leopard geckos, helping them form strong bones, create eggshells, control muscle activity and send nerve impulses. Without enough calcium in their diet, your leopard gecko’s body may start drawing calcium from its bones – leading to Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD).
Leopard geckos live in their natural environment, feeding on various wild insects and licking mineral deposits from rocks and other surfaces. Additionally, they spend time outside in the sun which provides them with vitamin D3 essential for calcium absorption.
Your gecko’s calcium needs depend on their age and life stage. For hatchling and baby leopard geckos (0-4 months old), supplement with pure calcium 3 times a week; for juveniles (5-18 months) and gravid females, give calcium + vitamin D3 once a week.
Mulberry Madness
Repashy’s Mulberry Madness is a limited-edition seasonal blend sure to please your gecko. It uses powdered black mulberries as its primary ingredient, which are packed with fiber, antioxidants, phytonutrients, zeaxanthin, resveratrol, anthocyanins and lutein for maximum enjoyment.
Leopard geckos love this food because it is high in protein and low in fat (only 1.1%). Furthermore, it contains vitamin A which is essential for skin health, immune function, and reproduction.
Silkworms can be added to your leopard gecko’s diet if they’re growing, gravid, or sick as their protein content helps repair cells and build muscles. Furthermore, this worm has 82.7% moisture content – much higher than worms with little or no water content.
In addition to these dietary options, there are other ways you can keep your leos healthy and contented in their terrarium. These include adhering to proper setup and maintenance practices for the environment, feeding nutritious foods, providing them with fresh water and exercise regularly, as well as reducing their stress level.
Grub Pie
Repashy Grub Pie is a nutritious treat for leopard geckos that contains over 75% cold-pressed black soldier fly larvae meal (calciworms). Its aroma and flavor elicit an almost instinctive feeding response in many insectivorous animals, even those that require moving prey and have little interest in freeze-dried insects or pelleted foods currently on the market.
This formula for calciworms has been cold-pressed, eliminating half of their fat content without using high temperatures or chemical exposure like other processing methods do. As a result, you get an almost perfect 2:1 calcium to phosphorous ratio as well as more protein than typical mealworm diets.
This diet is ideal for bearded dragons, blue tongue skinks, ackie monitors, leopard geckos, turtles of all types and aquatic amphibians. It can be fed as a slurry, paste or gel or mixed into existing gecko diets. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent base to introduce medications when treating parasites or other health issues.
Banana Cream Pie
Banana Cream Pie is an antioxidant-rich treat, topper or tasty mix-in that can be fed as gel, slurry or paste. Plus, its 70% dried fruit makes it a real crowd pleaser for your furry friend! Besides that, this nutritious treat also boasts balanced levels of vitamins and minerals from Whey Protein Isolate as well as its cool mascot that’s sure to please both you and your furry friend!
Repashy Premium Gecko Food is a bit pricier than its other options, but you can be certain of receiving only the highest quality product. Not only does it make an excellent addition to any gecko keeper’s arsenal, but its shelf life of up to six months after opening makes it even more compelling!
