do you think they can catch small feeder fish?

>>

When my mud was a hatchling he did have a hard time catching fish. I found that if I bought lots & lots of fish he could easily pick off a few in a crowd but as they thinned out they were too fast for him. Horrible thing to do from the fish's point of view but if we would maim the fish he could then catch them. If you kill the fish for them then freshly killed worked out. I didn't like to do it but my DH didn't mind, to him it was no different than baiting a hook.



>>i'll look into the multivitamin thing. it's only one eye shut, not both, buit i have seen him with the eye open. im thinking i have to raise the temperature for starters.

>>my menagerie is growing-- i just got mypair of yearling tokay geckos today!!





Congrats on the Tokays! Watch your fingers
