My leopard gecko is always hungry. What's the best feeding plan?

Question

Hiya, i own a leopard gecko and i feed him once a week but and i read theyre only supposed to have 8-10 mealworms, but hes always hungry ... should i feed him more or leave it ? not sure if this is a vet questions but there are not vets in hong kong who look at leopard geckos so i don't have anyone else to ask and im worried hes not eating enough. Pet's info: Reptile | Gecko | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 2 months old

Thanks for reaching out about Norman. Geckos should be offered food every other day at least. Mealworms are not a complete meal. A wider variety of insects need to be offered and they need to be gut-loaded. Heat needs to be in the POTZ (Preferred Optimal Temperature Zone) for the species. UVB exposure is necessary for vitamin D synthesis and calcium metabolism. Good luck.
