Hey, my roommate has an african fat tailed gecko and a lepard gecko in the same terrarium. Every time she feeds them the lepard gecko eats fast, but the fat tailed seems to be to slow to catch the crickets.

I just played with them a bit today and the fat tailed is looking...well...skeletal. I'm no expert on geckos, or lizards of any type, but i'm pretty sure his hips, shoulders, and spine aren't supposed to stick out.

I know I said it was my roommates gecko but i just can't let him..or her...live like that, especially if i can help. besides, i might be inheriting them shortly.

Anyways, suggestions on things i could feed him to fatten him up? prefferably cheap things as i am one of the proverbial 'starving students'.

Thanks
Jakhi
