Feeding a baby.

[barry316]

I hatched my first gecko over the weekend and am trying him on mini worms. Is this ok. The baby does not seem interested in food?

Did he shed? Just leave the worms in there, and change them out every day, you will see him eat soon. Hopefully.

No shed yet. I think. As this is new to me. I should be waiting for the shed?

Wait until he sheds. He will eat his own shed for his first meal, then after that you can start leaving meal worms in his dish. Before they shed, they tend not to eat.

Edit: Oh, and congratulations

They usually won't eat anything until after their first shed.
