This topic was already disgusted not to long ago. Yes, they can be fed as a staple. What size are the Silkworms and what’s the size of your Leopard Gecko?

yes you can feed them as a staple but not if the worm is too large for your leo. from what it sounds like it is too big. she shouldn’t have trouble downing it if it’s the right size.

i really fine that they enjoy crickets a lot more. mine will eat worms of any kind if that is what i put in front of her but if i take everything out of her tank and throw in some crickets she really gets a kick out of casing them down. now i know that they are loud and you really would not want them in your room or house at all, but they make little cricket cages you can put out side. it is a little more work but it will make your leo quality of life a lot better. they get bored ya know.
