Hello! My daughter and I just got in new adult leopard geckos. We've had them for 4 days, and they've all ate. Is it okay to start getting them used to us handling them?

It would depend on your gecko. If he's not hiding, you could just put your hand in front of him, then wait and see if he'll climb onto it. I usually try to avoid putting my hand under their body and scooping them up, because it scares them even if they recognize me. I seldom pick up the rock they're hiding under to get them out.
BUT, that's just my way of doing it. Other people have different methods. Good luck!
