One of my leos jumped of one of the hides that was 1 foot tall. He did a front flip and then scurried in the hide!

Late one night shortly after I bought my 2 leopard geckos, (Ren and Stimpy) I saw Stimpy climbing the tree I have in their aquarium and she fell out of it. I checked on her later and she was in her hide. A little later I heard a thump similar to the sound Stimpy made when she fell out of the tree. I went over to the aquarium to see if Stimpy caused the sound I heard and there she was directly below the tree. No worries though because the drop is less then 1 foot.

I bought her from the person who bred her and he probably had her in an enclosure that never allowed her to climb such heights.

I'm wondering the same. I didn't know that was possible.

How could one hatchlings mouth and digestion system accommodate a meal like that?

mine is a little slow when it comes to feeding time. in addition to trying to attack meal worms through the side of her plastic dish, she also attacks SHADOWS. when i pick up meal worms with the tongs, she will lung and strike at the shadow of the meal worm on the paper towel substrate. sometimes she figures it out and looks up and sees the actual meal worm, but not before attacking the meal worm's shadow several times.

Most gecko humor involves eating, doesn't it?
My leo simply would NOT eat his phoenix worms at first - ate one, spit one out, wouldn't touch 'em after that. Not on the cage floor, in a dish, anywhere he'd normally eat crickets or mealies. For over a week he just didn't eat.
Then one day he was sitting around staring at me from the cool hide, and I decided to give it another go. Lo and behold, he snapped them out of my fingers until I didn't have any left in the cup. Apparently he'll eat anything if I hold it for him.

The funny thing was, he chews SO much more with the phoenix worms. I think they wriggle around more or they taste strange or something. He'd open his mouth all the way like he was chewing taffy and then keep smacking his lips and licking his face. If I wasn't busy feeding him like crazy before he decided to stop eating again, I'd have taken a picture... he looked like a frog.
