I got a white line gecko about 5 months ago and he seems to be doing fine. the only thing that I am concerned about is the amount of crickets he is eating. All the care sheets say they should eat about 7-10 crickets every other day, but mine couln't eat more than one a night or maybe two. I put about 7 crickets in his cage and it takes about a week for all of them to disapear. He readily accepts wax worms as soon as they are offered. he is not underweight and seems healthy like I said but I dont know if this is a normal amount for them or not. I have only seen him eat one cricket they whole time, he so skittish he wont eat when Im anywhere around, except for wax worms, he likes them to much to wait for me to leave.

Seven crickets a week is absolutely OK. They do not need more nor should eat more
