Hello,
Arwen, my sister's fat tail gecko, is now eating on her own. Not only that, she is eating like a pig. Crickets. She's bulking up fast. Which leads to a new question. Should I limit her to how much she eats, or let her eat her fill? The first time she ate on her own, she ate 9 crickets, and still wanted more. The day afterwards, she ate about 15. With my own gecko(leopard), I let her eat her fill. However, she eats about 9 crickets and mealworms every two days. If I offer her more, she shows no interest. As of now, I'm limiting Arwen's food, but feeding her every day an average about 8 crickets.
