Hi all,
Right now we have a new juvenile leopard gecko and I'm currently feeding mealworms and crickets using tweezers because I don't want the crickets running around the enclosure. They get up inside one of the hides where the gecko wouldn't be able to reach them (stupid castle my kids wanted - lol). I know a lot of you have a separate tub you put your gecko in to feed them and I want to do that, but I've read I need to leave our gecko alone for the first couple weeks. I'm thinking maybe I could move her when she's in her moist hide and put that into the feeding tub - or would that stress her out too much? I do put meal worms into a bowl in her tank, but she hasn't eaten any of them yet - only from the tweezers (dull tip, btw). Should I just leave well enough alone for now?
