I'm new to the gecko world but with dart frogs people use Bean Beetles and they are supposed to be high in fat.

Wax worms.

As daggekko said, definitely waxworms. Another high fat option is a pinkie mouse of your female is big enough.

waxworms are higher in fat... But yeah those are amazing answers thank you guys I appreciate you help. wax worms and silk worms are hard to find My area and she is small to take a pinky right now I wouldn't suggest a pinky though only because of bones unless you are feeding to something bigger with a large stomach like a bearded dragon or something with a large frame I have heard of geckos eating pinkies and digesting them well but that there are risks but then again a geckos instinct is a geckos instinct.

Hey you guys do you know if they mixed the new crickets DNA with meal Worms??? the chompers on the new crickets are strong!!!!

for grandis, superworms are a better option.

i give my peggo and laying females wax worms, butter worms, smaller superworms, mealworms andmore fruit / mrp mashup (high in sugar = fat)

sometimes its not what you feed but abundance.

another option is to gutload crickets with different products / higher fat foods.

I do not like the meal worms because of the hard exo-skeleton. I feed her goliath worms for her calcium intake those seem to work well but are not high in fat I will try and buy some wax worms asap. Organic baby food she loves.
