Skunk Gecko Feeding

I have 3 skunk geckos, a male and two females. I am not new to the gecko world as I have owned eyelash crested geckos in the past. I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions of favorite foods of skunk geckos. I am trying to stay away from crickets so have them on baby food right now. I have heard about, worms, pinky mice (only recently), and adding honey to the baby food. Anything else?

Roaches...either B. Lateralis or B. Dubia. Baby food isn't going to cut it as a staple diet.

Ok. I am mixing a powder in with the baby food that was made specifically for geckos and has calcium, minerals, and etc in it for them.

IMO, they're going to need whole prey items of some sort. They have different requirements than crested geckos.

I would feed them crickets. That is the best food for them in my opinion. Like Ethan said they have different requirements than a crested gecko. Not every geckos can be taken care of the exact same way. You might want to "google" them and read up a little more on thier care.
