lots of food for pebbles

[Junk]

so I have been feeding my blind leo 1-1.5 mL of gecko soup every other day... and I decided to try and feed him some mealies after he ate the soup and he ate 6 and was "hunting" for more... I am curious if I should feed him that much on a regular basis? He has gained 10 grams in the last four months (he was severely underweight when I got him) so he is now 58 grams.

another question... after he eats he does this weird stretching thing, where he looks straight up and kind of bends into an "S" shape both left and right (so twice)... I guess in human terms it reminds me of when you stretch your arm pits you bend to the left for a little bit and then you stretch the right for a little bit. Is this normal?

I think the bending is him trying to get the food down, my geckos do it sometimes after they'd had a big meal. If your gecko is eating mealworms and stuff, I wouldn't feed it the gecko soup. Just offer to him a variety of insect items, it's the best for the gecko.

so far now in the past few days my little pebble has been quite the little piggy... I am very proud of him he has eaten about 25-30 mealies, hungry little bugger

Wow, a blind gecko!!:main_thumbsup: How did you get him? Can I get a picture?

I would give him 10 every other day. You can keep doing what your doing and is ***should*** be fine. A good rule of thumb is give is as munch as it can eat in a 5-10 min period.
