I caught 1 Mediterranean gacko and quickly killed it and froze it in a little water 3 years ago. I rub a f/t pinky in that and it works great at getting problem hoggies to eat. I really didn't want to kill the gecko, but just scenting with the live gecko didn't work. It took a little blood and guts. But I still have and use the same gecko even now. It's strange how readily some hatchlings will eat, while others are problematic. I usually have hatchlings eat within an hour or 2 out of the egg, but others take a while. Good luck.

The one in the photo is less than 2 hours old.
