Any Ideas on how to Transition a stubborn gecko?

RMCADguy Feb 15, 2006 12:57 PM

I have a couple geckos that are being stubborn and wont eat their mealworms. I have had most of mine eating crickets but I want to get them free feeding mealworms from a dish. I have a couple that do it already but a few are being pains. Any ideas on how I can get them to get with the program? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Phil

If letting them go hungry for a while doesn't work, maybe they are just going to be cricket eaters. Some are just that way.

I have found that transitioning them to tweezer feeding and then to the bowl can help.
