How often do geckos.. poo?

[KYUI]

How often do they leave waste for me to clean?
She's been eating about 3 mealworms a day but I don't see any poo? Does it take awhile? Or is she not eating enough?

Thanks.

3 worms a day isn't enough for a baby gecko, let alone an adult. She should be eating around 10-20 worms a day. That may explain why you're not seeing anything....there's hardly anything there to digest. A well fed gecko typically poos 1 time a day, usually right after they eat.

I find a little "present" in their tubs every day. My babies and juveniles eat 6-12 crickets a night.

I have something to clean up pretty much every day - If it's not there before I go to work it's there when I get home

Not sure about the 3 worms a day thing - Mine is in a funk right now where I put 10 worms in the dish when I get home but she only eats 2-3 of them by morning (uneaten worms go back into the gutload bin every morning), but she used to eat at least 5-7 on any given day. If you're only offering 3 worms you may want to leave more in the dish

Oh really? SHe stopped going for it after 3. She's eating more today though. Maybe its the whole getting adjusting to the new home and eating more and more now?

Thanks guys.

well fed leos usually poop once everyday, except during the day right before or right after a shed (in my case). my smallest sometimes poop twice a day cos he/she is a glutton.

Mine tipically poop once a day but my female might do a big one every other day

Mine poos every other day and sometimes everyday. My gecko will normally eat around
3 - 5 mealies every day. The mealies I feed him are the size when they are about to pupate. Today, he ate 8 worms. Then I stopped giving him more because I thought it was too much. My gecko is still pretty young. About a little less than a month old. He ate 8 worms today because he didn't eat anything yesterday besides his skin i think.
