Hows every ones geckos doing?

[Warocker's Wife]

They do seem like they havnt been handled much, one acts like hes on speed or somthing never stops running and jumping. and he has his full tail so I dont wanna rip it off so I grab him in mid air haha

Babies are very fast. It’s common for them to run and jump.. Just be careful of their little heads. Try gentle laddering them. If not wait till they are a little older to handle them

my crestie eats the CGD off a spoon, hes very well mannered.

not rhacs BUT.. my leopard geckos ate their first dubia roaches yesterday!

Roaches? those seem a tad, big...

Feeder roaches come in all sizes--they vary in size by age and type of roach. You just pick the approprate size based on what you are feeding. Dubias are very nutritious.

hmmm maybe ill try some, will cresties eat them?

[mainbutter]

I feed dubias to my cresties.

Some of my cresties that are older and have been on CGD only their whole lives are a bit pickier, but one of my younger girls hunts 'em down like the predator jumping down from on high with mouth wide open.

In addition to feeding CGD by hand: I like to use a chopstick to offer it. Just dip the chopstick and get enough goop on it. The smaller food vehicle is easier to maneuver the food to the gecko's face, and doesn't spook 'em as easily.

Yes, cresteds will eat them. I'd recommend the blaptica dubia.

Thats the right address, only problem is that they only sell in groups of like 150. so, I found a local store that sells them singles.
