So, a few weeks ago i got a new gecko named Vladislov. He was super tiny, and he's growing quite a bit. He ate 1 mealworm, and never touched them again so i switched him to crickets which he just eats up. I'm feeding him quite a bit, because I want him to grow and get bigger aha, so he was eating on average about 8 crickets every night. I was getting the small/medium sized crickets from +++++, since he is only about 5 or 5 1/2 inches long. Today I went to my local rep shop and wasnt sure on what size to get so i showed them about the length of my thumb nail, and when they brought the crickets out they were huge! Not all the way to adult cricket size yet, but they were much bigger than the little baby ones i was feeding before. I asked if the had any smaller ones, but the smaller ones were baby baby pinheads, and they assured me he would do fine with these crickets. I put 3 in his cage and he ate one just fine, and then for the biggest one and managed to choke it down. He ate them, but is this okay? Could it cause problems or will it just make him grow bigger? Btw, crickets stink. Lol.
