Every little leopard gecko really wants to play. They just don't know what those big hands is their cages are. Why not hand feed so they get used to hands and handling. This one is eating a young mealworm with a little calcium dust to make him extra healthy. This is his first week with me and it is taming to light contact at this point. They also eat crickets and other worms and bugs for a varied leopard gecko diet.
It is important to dust your foods with calcium and D3 to ensure that your leopard geckoes stay healthy. The use of a UV light is not necessary with PROPER feeding and nutrition. Of course, it doesn't hurt anything either. Try a 2.0 fluorescent tube if you want to add UV light.
