Something easier to try is some chicken or turkey babyfood, if you're too squeemish to mash up the bugs. My gecko takes about 10 crickets every other night. He was eating every day, but one day decided he didn't want to any more, so we moved to every other day. I'm thinking about moving him back, but we'll see how that turns out. I would like to fatten him up a bit, so he may have food crawling around his cage whether he likes it or not.

As he has aged, i've progressively upped the size of his food. I don't feed him mealies any more, because they're too small in my opinion. My gecko currently gets super worms and large crickets (half the size of his head) and i'm going to be moving to roaches as soon as I can figure out what I want to breed.

Feel free to e-mail me at andrude@gmail.com if you have any specific questions. I check it regularly, so it might be more speedy than the forum.
