Thank you. I'm trying them on mealworms for tonight and have taken the heads off them (the worms not the geckos of course. :S ) as they look fairly big and extra wriggly and I've heard that they might be a bit much to handle for young geckos.



I've put 5 in the dish, gonna see how that goes and if they're gone by the time I hit the sack myself then I'll put more in.

Also wiped the mouth of the female one with the guts of one of them so hopefully she'll feel a bit hungry now.



Our heatmat is fixed to one wall at the moment (which is the end that the moist hide is and the day lamp too) so it's not under their feet and I haven't seen them cuddle up to it at all.



They seem to be settling in okay actually, the female one sits ontop of the night light (which we don't use because it's too hot) for the day and the male one just hides away most of the time but he was out this morning.



Still no specific place chosen for their bathroom yet - they seem to think that the whole vivarium is fair game - do you think that will change at all?



I think I've started to get the hang of it.



Thank you ever so much for the feed back. It is muchly appreciated.



Gem
