Just wondering, how many hours a day should my leos be active? I stay up pretty late (1-2 AM) and they are always in their hide usually... I have only had them for a couple of days, maybe I am just worrying too much as a new owner...
Also what time should I feed them?
Yea give it some time and you'll probably find them wandering the enclosure a little more. Mine didnt start wandering until about 2 weeks. Also, when you watch them late is your light on or is it dark? They may only come out when its dark. Good luck, and enjoy your geckos.

At night I just have the red lamp on
Mine comes out around 4 PM and stops wandering around at 11pm or midnight. Sometimes he comes out as early as 3:30 to take a poo. He usually eats between 5 and 8, sometimes nabs that last mealworm at night when I'm sleeping. I think feeding around normal human dinner time is pretty good (between 6 and 8).

I feed mine about an hour before i shut of all the lights. When i feed them i shut off the basking light and only have the overhead light in my room on.
