Hi all,
We redid the gecko's enclose today, removing all sand and replacing the food dish with a plastic dish that the mealworms cannot escape from. We had no idea how many crickets were hiding in the tank. We thought there were two or three, but ended up removing, then freeing about 8 (we let them lose because I don't want to deal with them, I will usually mealworms from now on). Instead of sand we now have paper towels down, along with his two hides, food and water dishes, and a small plastic plant (just for decoration). He already seems more at ease. I have not seen him eat yet, just sleep, but at least now I can keep count of the amount of worms in the tank (I put 8 in his bowl so we'll see).
In another post someone said they new a trick to getting gecko's to eat from a food dish. I would very much appreciate that help. I am going to try and post a picture of the update tank so hopefully that will work.
Steph
