Other foods besides mealwoms?

[TheresaB.C]

I am so sorry that I have been posting so many questions on here in the past two day, my new leo is a bit of a challenge.
She will not touch anything besides mealworms for food. I am not to worried right now, as she could use some more weight, but i need to find her something better. I tried crickets, never seen a gecko run AWAY from a cricket befor, felt bad for laughing. She pounces on mealworms as soon as they are place in front of her, wont touch wax worms, yet to try hornworms. Roaches are illegal in canada so that's out the window... any ideas of what foods would be a good long term meal plan for her?

Hi ~

I recommend hornworms. Click: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...eeding-issues-/68585-hornworm-guidelines.html

Other leos love silkworms. Click: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/comm...eeding-issues-/68584-silkworm-guidelines.html

How about organizing your questions into a single thread for your new leo? Post it right here: http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/leopard-geckos-husbandry-housing-and-heating/

Posting many threads about the same leo results in piecemeal advice.

I tried a horn worm last nigh. She walked up to it, lickd it then walked away. I have read about some people doing mealworm only diets. Is that possible? I would be supplementing with vitamin powder to make she she gets everything she misses.

How long was that hornworm? cms fine

What kind of vitamin and calcium with D3 powder are you thinking about using? Some are much better than others.

The horn worm was only 3 cms long. I am using a fluckers vitamin powder right now.
