Hey
This past spring, my bf caught me a small house gecko outside his mom's house. I kept him with toads - and he bored me then because I never really saw him eat. This September, I finally released my toads when they thought they should go into hibernation in their terrarium. About a week later, I bought some small crickets for the gecko and finally saw him eat, and realized how absolutely awesome he was. He told me "buy me a friend", so I picked up another one @ PetsMart - the new one is HUGE. They get along fine. Yesterday, my bf caught me another wild one - a tiny little infant. I'm keeping him separate, but I have no clue what to feed him. I have a few fruit flies around in my apartment, and I caught one and threw it in there, but it just ran up the side of the plastic cage and got out the holes in the top. What are my other alternatives? He's probably an inch and a half long, including his tail. Also, how can I sex them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
