Before I buy the gecko, what should I feed other than mealworms dusted with reptivite

[scouragestar99]

My crickets died in an accident, so what can I feed him until friday? I don't have him ordered yet but I do have a bunch of mealworms and reptivite, can this hold his hunger off until friday?

I could try ordering some food online.

Some leopard geckos eat only mealworms. Some don't eat at all for the first few days to a week after coming to a new place. Based on that I think you'll be fine with what you've got.

If your leo only eats one type of insect, something is wrong with your husbandry or your leos health.

@The OP, It will be best to pick up some crickets. Some leos need to see fast moving prey in order to eat. You may end up sitting around concerned as to why the leo is not eating if you only have mealworms sitting in a dish.
