HOUSE GECKO FEEDING!!

HOU-LONG Aug 16, 2005 04:14 PM

Hi i just got a new house gecko! He is really cool. I was just wondering what and when to feed. also i am wondering if un- eaten crickets can be left in the cage.
THANKS!

I feed mine twice a week, you can leave uneaten crickets in the cage as they'll probably eventually be tracked down and eaten. I feed mine two large or four small crickets at a time, you'd be really suprised at the size of insects that these little guys are able to overpower and eat, it's pretty impressive.

thanks kev.for the info. i cant believe how ignorant some petstore employees are. But i have looked at all the sites i could on care and every sheet has mixed opinions. seeing as you seem experienced with these geckos could you give me a basic outline of how you care for them? it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
HOU-LONG
