How much should he eat?

[JulesMichy]

I swear, if I keep 'em comin', my Nic will eat as many mealworms as I'll give him. How many large mealies should a 64g gecko be eating?

As many as he wants. Maybe you should just put a bunch in a low dish they can't climb out of and let Nic eat all he wants.

I've tried, he refuses. *sigh* Ever since he lost his eye, he gets intimidated by a big, squirming mass of worms. He'll only eat them one at a time.

Our girl who is about the same weight eats about 30 one day, 15 the next. It goes back and forth like that.

Hmm, okay. I've been giving him about 15-20, so I can up it a little bit. I guess I'm just not in the "gecko mindset" yet. I'm still used to dogs and rats, where you have to be a strict mommy and not give them a million treats even though they act like they're just starving to death! :main_rolleyes:
