from mealies to crix ?

[chadbandman]

What’s the best way to switch geckos from mealworms to crickets?

You don't need to do anything special. If you have a problem, try chilling the crickets to slow them down until the leos get used to chasing them down. Worst case, you might have to pull a leg off to really make them easy to catch.

it really depends on your leo. If they eat anything the movement of the cricket will have them running after it trying to catch it but it they're picky your probably going to be there for awhile persuading them to eat it.

Be careful with that...

Feeding reptiles anything "chilled" could drop their body temperature, which is something you don't want to do. "Chilled" food can disrupt digestion also, not good.

I wouldn't switch over entirely all at once. Do a test run and see how it goes. There should be no problem. My Leos love the thrill of the chase.
