    Can you give a Leopard Gecko to much vitamins and supplements.
    I've only breed my Leopard Geckos once before. I usually feed them just plain meal worms expect during the breeding season where I'll feed them a combination of different insects with some vitamin and supplement dusted on them. I was wondering would it be safe to give them dusted meal worms year round? Or would the excess vitamins and supplements cause problems? Like being overweight?

    Giving any creature too much vitamins can be toxic to it. Supplementation is a balancing act between too much and too little.

    I usually dust the feeders every other meal through the year. I also make sure the feeders have access to carrot peels or dark green leafy veggie for about six hours before being fed off to make sure they have a good healthy gut load.
