i just got back from vacation this afternoon and i just thought i would give you guys a little update on how the geckos are doing.
Beanie and Phoenix did fine while i was away. they are getting quite chubby...Phoenix is around 60g while Beamie is about 65g.
Katrina and Pixie are okay too...they were well taken care of while i was away but i am a little worried about their weight gain...both are only about 10g but are fed every night as many mealworms as they want??? they have access to plenty of hides as well as a good temp gradient and fresh water. the mealies are gutloaded well and they have a bowl of leopard gecko dust in their tank at all times...i don't know whats wrong??? other than that, they are doing great!

Hey Cleo! Hope trip went well.. anyways, with regards to the babies, I have one albino that is similar to your situation. Has food, fresh water, plenty of hides, and good temp gradient, but weight gain seems kinda slow. I wouldn't be too worried about it seeing that everything is optimal for the babies. Looking back on my other geckos "growth records" they've all grown at their own paces, as any animal would, so just keep doing what you're doing and i'm sure they'll be fine..
