Gecko feeding question

[ewurm]

The girl at the store I bought him at said they feed 6 small crickets a day, and I believe someone on here said they feed 6 a week. What should I do. I am also supplementing with a puree for it.

I believe once a day or every two days is the way to go. Once a week is too little for a lizard. They aren't like snakes.

i agree, i'd go with however many he can eat every two days.

I feed mine 5 large crickets a week. He doesn't eat al of them at once, kinda stock piles them. He's an old guy though. I'd feed about 3 every other day for the younger ones.

Every other day is a better feeding schedule rather than once a week.

The ones I've cared for have had 3 mealworms every other day, less if they weren't interested. What kind of gecko do you have?

 

[Death Pony]

Wurm and I both have Madagascar giant day geckos.

I'm jealous, those are beautiful

Indeed they are!!!! Personally I'd get one if I were you. They're relatively easy to take care of and active.

Just when I decide to stop myself from getting any more animals.... :-Þ
But it's definitely something I want to look at in the future.
