Feeding by hand

[Bodon]

Tonight i offered my gecko a meal worm by hand, and she took it! Most of you probably do that on a daily basis but i never even tried it. She just took it like it was no big deal but i thought it was pretty cool.

We have one that prefers to have his food served. It is very cool being able to trust your leo enough to hand feed him.

It's really cool until they decide that's the only way they want to eat. I have 2 cagemates that I have to hand feed crickets.

I agree it is another cool way to enjoy our pets......But since Conan my 123 gram male did a gaiter type slice of my thumb, I will continue using wooden forceps for my "hand feeding.".........Take care

I never hand feed geckos. My very 1st box turtle I ever had, she and I bonded on the 1st day I bought her. I could hand feed her anything, crickets, worms, mealworms, even apple slices. Since I lost her a few years ago, I have not bonded as good as I did with Spots my 1st ever box turtle with any reptile. I have bonded well with alot of my leopards but nothing like I did with Spots. I have feed some with tongs but not going to try bare fingers.

All the leos I have and have ever had would feed by hand.. I dont generally anymore because its easier and less time consuming to just fill there dishes with mealies lol.
