New Garg!

[CAMerchant]

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum. I just got a Gargoyle and it is so cute! I had a few questions. First - how much are they supposed to eat? The breader I got it from said to feed it the crested gecko diet every other day. I wasn't sure how much he should consume in that amount of time. And second is how do I know he's sleeping. With my leo I know when he's sleeping because his eyes are closed, but how about this little guy?

Thanks for everyones help, I hope to have some pics up soon!

A good rule of thumb is give it as munch as it can eat in a 5-10 minute period but for most ppl they just try to put in a apropet amount for the size no real amount.

So, if he doesn't eat all of it it's okay as long as he eats?

I just got a new gargoyle also and I'm feeding it the same way I have been feeding my crestie (who now weights 53 grams) since he was a tiny baby: CGD Mon, Wed, Fri (1/2 tsp with 1 tsp water); crickets Sun and Tues.
