anything will eat anything if hungry enouph.. I found a horse that was eating sticks because his owner couldn’t afford to feed it. Also i have seen accounts of monkeys killing each other for food.Edit.. lizards are hunting animals so they like live prey my freind owns a snake and she’s the same way… she’ll bite you if she thinks your a mouse, painful but cute if you think about it...

i have a bearded dragon and hes quite fussy with what he eats.. like with small crickets he wont bother chasing them, he actually waits for them to come to himbut bigger insects hed probably lunge at and eat them anywaylike everyone else has said it depends what lizard you have…. but they should eat both, but they prefer the fun of the live ones...

Yes. but only if they’re STARVING. Also, most lizards prefer the mice to be alive. Also, they must be pinkies (baby mice). Feeding these to smaller lizards is not reccomended. Leopard Gecko size is the absolute limit, as far as i know.... Show More

They prefer live insects, so that they can imitate their life in their natural environments. They particularly like live crickets and grasshoppers... Show More

haha i think that they eat any kind of insect that they can catch.just kidding.but no, they eat both. but if you want to spoil your little friend feed him dead, so it will be easier for him to eat, so he doesnt try to slip away and leave your friend hungry:)... Show More
