Im sure many geckos will eat the worms, but because they are canned and dried, a lot of the nutritional value is not in the worm anymore. It is cheaper and healthier to just stick with live mealies. If you would like to spice up your leo’s diet add crickets, butter worms, silk worms, roaches, and wax worms as an occasional treat.

That isn’t weird at all. I give my geckos in mixture of everything freeze dried and alive. I get my leopard geckos can o crickets. People to say that they don’t have that Russian about you but that isn’t always the case all the insects that I get that are prepared have a good amount of protein and fat. I always make sure that I’m getting something that doesn’t have preservatives. And yes I did my leopard geckos in mixture of gut loaded mealworms that I feed for about three or four days off of different fresh vegetables. And freeze dried mealworms so the live ones are moving the freeze dried ones.
My leopard geckos get the can o crickets, previously got loaded mealworms that are freeze dried. And also live mealworms that I feed for more than a few days so they get really fat and juicy. And live crickets. But will definitely be adding silk worms roaches and phoenix worms
