What should I feed my Leopard Gecko?

Question
Hi Yexalén, I just recently bought a leopard gecko and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on what I should feed it: and how much should I feed it a week.      ( How Much Food? ) Please Help . . . . .

Answer
Hello Mai, congrats on the new pet Leopard Gecko, they are wonderful pets. You need to buy some little crickets. No bigger then the space between the leopard gecko's eye balls. They need to be small so that they don't get gummed up in his intestines. He needs to be fed once a day about as many crickets he can eat in about 10 minutes. Any left over crickets after that ten minutes needs to be removed and saved for the next day. If they are left inside the tank they can eat at your leopard gecko's toes while he is sleeping and that is never good.

I hope this helped and sense it seems like this is your first lizard and you are not quite sure on how to take care of it I will also include some links on care and other good Leo sites. Good luck and I hope he grows healthy, happy and strong
