What do you feed a baby lizard?

Answer 1

This question cannot be answered, because you did not specify a species of lizard. Lizards are a huge order of animals ranging from minute insectivores that can sit on a dime, to enormous carnivores that bring down deer and devour them in chunks. They include strict herbivores like the green iguana, and omnivores such as the blue-tongued skink, that eat insects, meat, worms, eggs, fruit, and vegetables. The popular pet crested gecko eats small insects and fruit in the wild, and is maintained on a powdered formula (crested gecko diet meal replacement powder) that is served mixed with water, in captivity. Leopard geckos are generally maintained in captivity on a diet of store-bought crickets and mealworms. Lizards that eat insects should be offered insects no larger than the space between their eyes, and supplements are necessary in captivity.

What baby lizards eat depends on the species of lizard.

If you have captured a lizard, baby or not, and are not already sure of what it eats, then the ethical thing for you to do would be to release it where you found it.

Answer 2

The same food as their regular diet - HOWEVER - the expectant female would benefit from the addition of calcium and extra vitamins in their food - to replace the minerals used in forming the babies or eggs.

Answer 3

He eats almost any insect that isn't poisonous or bigger than it's head. That does NOT mean you can feed it lettuce, black widows, or anything we eat. A good Idea is to feed him/her small crickets, BLACK ants (not red they will sting the lizard and/ or eat the lizard from the inside out, same for small mealworms), fruit flies, and non-poisonous Spiders. We have recently caught a lizard in a fire pit his feet burned off. we are currently nourishing him back to health. Please pray.

I don't have any bugs at the moment. He is so little and am worried if he doesn't eat the vegetables that he may die?

I let him go last night with my little guy and this morning he was still here. So I have a reptilian tank, but I have put it on it's side so if he wants to be free he can.

pinkys and bugs, pinkys are non developed mice or rats. the best bug to feed reptiles are either worms or crickets. I usually go with crickets, they have more vital nutrients than worms.
