Hey all,
I'm still concerned about my geckos eating habits. Tomorrow will be three weeks of me owning him. I tried mealworms but he wouldn't budge at all with them. I tried crickets and he a couple of those.
Here's my concern, maybe some of you can ease my mind, hopefully. Today I dropped a few crickets in his enclosure. He noticed them, but he waited for one to walk into his warm hide before he ate it. he came out of his hide and saw them and walked back in, at first it seemed he was coming out to hunt but then I realized he came out because a couple crickets walked into his hide and I guess it spooked him. I have a few in there now, I know everyone says leave them in there for 15 minutes and if they don't eat them, remove them. I think tonight I will leave them in there to see if he eats them, but he is definitely still afraid of me, I wonder if he is scared to eat in front of me.
Just to let everyone know, my warm hide floor temp is between 92-94 degrees.
I can't tell if he's losing interest in crickets now, kind of starting to frustrate me a little :/
Thanks again guys.
