Fruits and veggies for geckos?

[Rajah]

Hello, there. I have a baby leopard gecko named Bambi. I've been trying to get her to eat crickets and mealworms... So far, not so good. I'm going to take her in for a check up in a few days, but, in the mean time, I was wondering, both for now and for future reference, are there alternative foods I can give to my gecko, along the lines of fruits and vegetables (not as a replacement for live insects, of course, but just something yummy to add some variety to her diet)? I heard peaches are good as treats. Anyone else have any luck with other fruits and veggies?

Leos wont really eat anything but meaty foods. As for phelsuma and things like that you can feed them fruit based yogurt, Rapashy 2 part diet, fruit baby food and so on. Just depends on the geckos natural diet.

A friend who lives near me says that her leo eats little bits of broccoli and it gives the crickets a place to go so the gecko doesn't have to chase as many. IDK if it is true, but I am going to try it soon.

Hmm, I'll have to try that. I know the crickets love vegetables. Maybe Bambi will, too.

Hey! I found out about leos sometimes eating little bits of fruit. So my family bought some peach and some guava baby food. Well, it turns out that my leos seem to like it. IDK if they are just trying to get it off of their faces (I sometimes just stick some to their noses) but sometimes they go up to the eyedropper I use to geiv it to them and just start licking. They seem to like it every once in a while. I just give it to them every once in a while.

Neat, thanks I should see if my baby likes it.
