Question
is it safe to feed my leopard gecko woodlice as i have a never ending supply in my garden

Answer
Its really not safe to feed anything from our yards actually.  We don't know where the insects have been and that can be deadly to our reptiles.  The insect may be exposed to disease, insecticides...etc.  Even though you may not use any pesticides, etc..you don't know where the insect was before you found them. Captive bred/raised woodlice are OK for a leo though..
