feeding pinkies to a tokay

stage9 Aug 08, 2005 10:21 PM

i would like to include pinky mice in my tokays diet. i tried dangling a defrosted one infront of him, but he did not seem interested. how do you feed them to tokays, do you feed them live?
Thanks

Live is best, the wiggle gets their attention . Only feed one every week or two as pinkies are rich in fat, which will quickly add on the weight to your tokay. And chubby geckos tend not to breed.

i feed my big male tokay 1 or 2 fuzzys a week. he loves them. also big goliath worms. i just let stuff go in there and watch him hunt. he doesn't get fat at all. big. but not fat. very solid. i think he'd take my finger off if he got a hold of it.
