at what age should i feed my leopard gecko dubia roaches

[leobigge]

Personally from talking with very reputable breeders and people who know their stuff and have been keeping leopard geckos for over 20 plus years, I have always used the rule of thumb to feed the gecko nothing no bigger than the width of the geckos head.

The prey should be no wider than the distance between the gecko's eyes. I would recommend crickets primarily with dubia and other feeders added for variety.

reason Im asking is my leo shows no more interest in crickets it will olny eat 1 cut up meal worm with the head cut off smashed then thrown away a day I try for hours a day to get it to eat 1 or 2 crickets but it wont eat them

Age does not matter at all. It is the size of the feeders that is important.

Try freshly shed mealworms and mealworm pupae.

Try small dubia. Dubia are reported to contain more protein than crickets do. That is why I do not suggest using them as a staple.

Be sure to copy & paste your leo's Health Questionnaire when you post and a current picture of your leo. We see a lot of leos on these forums. Would not want advice for your leo to get mixed up with some other leo ;-).
