    Question Question for feeding

    My Gecko has grown from being little and told to start with about 10 little crickets and Mini meal worms and day but now he is now about 5 " long and doing very well and had a good tail. So He wants about 15 or more and more meal worms.

    My question is it time to more up to the next size of crickest and meal worms?

    Thank You

    I leave a dish of mealies in my leos tubs at all times. Every other day you can throw in a handful of crickets and see how he does. Then throw one at a time in. Just don't over feed as leos will regurge.

    After the move into the upper range of the juvenile stage, they go on large crickets and usually take about three or so. They will eventually want more, and you should offer food until they lose interest.

    I too leave a mealie dish in the tubs, all my juvies have it gone by the next feeding.

    @Cameron: I hope you're gut loading with many different sources, or your doing your Leo's a larger disservice than if you did feed them crickets and mealies.
