canned or pellet food?

StinaUIUC Dec 30, 2003 12:16 PM

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with feeding their leos non-living food (pellet or canned dead like can 'o crickets or whatnot). Will they even eat it since it doesn't move?

Never tried canned food but i did try the Leopard Gecko freeze dried flies.....none of my guys ate it. Heck, sometimes if their mealworms are laying still in the bowl they wont' eat them. Then again most of my geckos clear out the bowl 2 minutes after i put in the worms. The few that wait until its all dark and i'm no where around may have one or two left by morning but if i pick it up with the tweezers and it moves they are on it in a second.
