Baby Hemidactylus

[little98dime]

I caught a baby house gecko today and was wondering what would be best to feed it? im not sur eon the species yet, but from pictures I have found I think it may be a Hemidactylus frenatus. would flightless fruit flies be ok for one about and inch long?

Any ideas? It looks pretty thin and I wanna try to help it.

At that size, they can start right away on larger fruitflies like D. hydei or pinhead crickets. Be sure to dust regularly with calcium/vitamin product.

Unfortunately, the little guy didn't make it. He was to far gone with exposure to all the harsh chemicals we use around the shop. He did eat a few fruit flies before he passed though. Lasted only a couple of nights.
