Where can I get Leopard Gecko food?

[shayanrajan]

So I decided I really want a Leopard Gecko and have done nearly 15 hours of research the past 3 days. The only question I've consistently had is where can I get my insects and store them without needing to breed them? Everyone on youtube has boxes and boxes of insects being bred for their room of 20 reptiles but for someone with just ONE LG, where can I get this variety of insects at lower quantities and store them without needing to bred the insects? Thank you guys!

Welcome to Geckos Unlimited!

Try Rainbow Mealworms for a wide selection of feeders for leopard geckos. Mealworms are easy to breed.

Since the coronavirus is scaring me from traveling to pet stores I just order all of my feeders from Amazon now. I only have 1 leopard gecko and 1 tarantula to feed them to so I have the same problem as you. However I'm forced to go to the pet store for crickets because I don't think I'll be able to feed off 60 crickets before their lifespan is up. A package of 25 super worms arrived, I thought they were all dead until I waited 5 minutes then 20 of them were back up and running. I have also successfully ordered 12 hornworms and 50 medium dubia roaches without any deaths .

Ahhh thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I guess thats what I’ll end up doing. I have a PetSmart a few miles from my home so I can visit them for crickets and I use amazon a decent amount anyway, just didn’t know they sold insects, silly me.

That’s great but be aware that there’s always a chance for the insects to be dead on arrival, make sure you look at reviews carefully.

Yeah I definitely will! And if not Amazon I might try to find another site that can send lower quantities of insects as well that might specialize in it. Thank you!
