Dear Gecko Keeper
I have found this great journal research article on Leopard Gecko Growth Rates that proved that an exclusive mealworm diet for hatchlings results in better growth rates with better structure development (length, mass, head length and width, tail base width), compared to cricket only diet and mixed diets (cricket + mealworms).
Very interesting article! Please read, and lets discuss ihis together! Would be interesting so see what results one will get when roaches and superworms are used in a similar study design.
