Leopard geckos are largely insectivorous and suitable food includes crickets, small locusts, waxmoth larvae, mealworms (''Tenebrio molitor'') and nestling mice. A staple diet of crickets along with occasional waxworms and mealworms make a good diet. Adult geckos can also be fed an occasional pinkie mouse.

Juveniles can be feed every day and adults every day or every other day (four food items per feeding is usually sufficient for adults) These geckos do not rely on UV radiation for their vitamin D3/[[Calcium|Ca]] metabolism, but must obtain all their nutritional requirements from their food supply. Supplementation is therefore a must. Insects should be both nutrient loaded and dusted with a supplement.

If possible feed in a separate container so that ingestion of the substrate is minimised. If feeding within their enclosure any uneaten food should be removed.
