I was wondering if my leopard geckos could eat organic peach baby food.and if not what other fruits can they eat??
btw- Leopard Geckos can and DO eat fruit %26 vegetables...thats one of the reason you feed crickets fruit and vegetables. SO PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY THEY DON"T EAT FRUIT!! (I really just don't want to hear it.)
Answers:
i wouldnt. it has ingerdiants in it to support a babies diet. not a reptiles. it could be harmfull.
but im no expert, you may be able to.
but i wouldnt feed it to them untill you know for sure.
It is crested geckos that eat fruit baby food, not leopard geckos. Leos need insects only. I'm sorry you don't want to hear it, but you need to learn more about the differing species. What crikckets eat is not the same as what geckos eat...that's like saying we should eat grass because that is what cows eat.

they couldn't because of the fruits and vegtables because they don't eat fruits and vegtables they ear crickets, If your saying that they eat the same thing as crickets thats like saying we eat the same thing as dogs or cats, kibble. Also if they did eat it they would most likely get sick because of the baby food ingredients that are put in to suport the babys dietary need.
Woah..You're being a bit nasty here...You asked the question... you got lots of answers.Perhaps not the answers you wanted but answers none the less.If you already knew the answer why ask?Little confused here with the animosity.Certainly not necessary to be cranky..

I made a gecko slushy consisting of squash and chicken baby food, but i look for the pure forms with now other ingredients (just incase)... the slushy also contained vanilla ensure, and I added a bit more mineral supplmt, and pure calcium powder. it helped one of my babies for some time. and then he started to eat mealworms again. he really looked like he improved in some body weight. now it has been sometime and he stopped eating again, and i started the slushy again, but don't want to do it too long, just need to since he is so skinny, but i myself am also looking for a small waxworm to try. he is really skinny, so i may need to find a local vet in my new area where i just moved. i do not know about the fruits. i think occassional small pieces- but NOT too sure....fruit is more sugary, so i would imagine they need more protein and cannot have just fruit. i hope you find what you are looking for as far as answers. also, the gecko slushy that I use called for blending it up with mealworms, but I have not tried blending the worms in it yet. i saw the recipe for it on a site. slushy for a short time period seems okay, but i am still researching. keep looking and keep reading.
ReplyDeleteI have a really skinny leapord gecko, and iv'e read that baby food can really be good for them, and they enjoy it. I am going to try one meat flavor, and a fruit flavor. i hope he gets better soon though. Normallyi would force feed him wax worms or meal worms, but ever since he started feeling ill, he hasnt eaten them. im hoping this baby food can help.! Im not sure how old he is, but if any of you have any tips to help him get better, i'd really like it!! His eyes are also getting... Odd... So if you have any ideas, i'll listen!! I have tryed eye drops, and they are helping a bit. Thanks!
