Gargoyle Gecko Feeding Schedule
Quick answer
Offer fresh MRP powder most nights for hatchlings and juveniles, tapering to about 3-5 nights a week for adults, with insects rotated in once or twice a week and removed if uneaten within 24 hours.
- Hatchling / juvenile
- MRP most nights
- Adult
- MRP 3-5x/week
Why MRP frequency tapers with age
Younger, fast-growing geckos benefit from more frequent feeding. Adults need a controlled, less frequent portion to avoid excess weight gain.
Adjusting portions
Weigh monthly and watch body condition. If weight climbs steadily, cut back the portion size or frequency slightly.
