Help For my New Gecko!!!

maddpizza Mar 25, 2004 02:23 AM

I bought an Albino Leo (juvinille) a couple of weeks ago. He was very small and weak and skinny when i bought him, but i fattened him up quickly, and fed him every day. Sometimes he cant catch them all, but thats ok. Today i went to feed him (and clean the water dish) and there TWO days worth of crickets!!!!!!!!!!

So my question is: When you stop feeding them everyday ( i read you are suppose to feed them a few times a week when they are big) Is he just not hungry? He use to just chase the crickits down and scarf them.
should i take the xtra crickets out?
Now he is also very sluggish, and normally he would start climbing every when i turned the lights out.
ALso, when should i make a "moist retreat"? its that something they need immediately?????
