I have a baby leopard gecko- about 1 month old and she eats 10 crickets a day because she's growing.
I'm going to the pet store on July 1st to get more crickets, and buy some other stuff. I ran out of crickets today, can she survive 3 days or should I just make an extra trip to the pet shop?

Yes, a healthy leopard gecko should be able to survive at least two weeks without food. It's best to feed them more often than that of course, but your lizard will be fine.

She will be fine!! they are designed to go stretches without food in the wild, they don't have a nice person to nip to the pet shop to buy some nicely packaged crickets. Obviously don't do this as general rule of thumb, but the odd occasion really won't hurt.

I wouldn't want a baby that young to go 3 days without food--they need to eat a lot at that age. I don't think she will die, but I don't think it would be good for her. A healthy adult with a fat tail can easily go several day without eating.
