    Question what to feed a baby leo

    I'm going to be getting a young leopard gecko in a few weeks, and I was wondering what would be best to feed it.
    I've read that mealworms can be harder for the babies to digest, so what should I get for it's main food item?

    Small mealworms and/or phoenix worms are also good choices for baby leos.

    I've always fed my leos mealworms right from the start, and I got them as tiny babies 7-8 years ago. Just make sure you feed small ones and if possible, freshly shed ones. I've never had a problem.
