tokay geckos diet?

[touch 13]

I'm wanting my two females to feed on bigger feeders. Silk worms don't move enough for them, as well as horned worms. Worms that burrow are much to boring for them.

My bigger tokay loves to cling from the glass and spring down towards the prey, while my younger one waits within a hide for feeders to be ambushed.

I'm wanting to know different styles or ideas for feeding these guys, I'm sure crickets are getting super boring!

Any tips?

My male goes absolutely nuts for crickets. The look on his face is priceless. However, I do offer superworms within a container which he'll feed out of. He'll also eat f/t fuzzies every now and then (usually when I goof on counting out for my snakes) and EVERY rarely he's eaten hoppers and small adult mice. When I had madagascar hissing roaches he wasn't too crazy about them. I'll catch flack for this, but given I keep snakes and the whole cycle of life thing, he's also been fed deformed hatchlings of various lizard species over the years.

That sounds awesome!
With the f/t fuzies, how does that situation happen?
You leave it on the substrates and he will come grab it throughout the night?

Buffy enjoys her crickets, along with superworms. I my try some f/t pinkies..we'll see though. For the worms I tong feed her, gets her used to me and she gets her food.

Be careful feeding rodents; they're extremely high in fat and not particularly great on a regular basis. My tokays really like dubia and lateralis roaches as well as super worms and super beetles on occasion.

Part of the reason why I offer them very infrequently. They are more like a random treat than anything else.

all my geckos including my tokays are on a schedule..monday and tuesday is crickets.wensday is waxworms thursday and friday are mealworms and saturday and sunday are dubia's. about once a month i feed the tokays one f/t pinkie each as a treat..=]...and i dust the feeders with calcium with d3 every other feeding

The roaches seem like a popular choice, I need to start a colony of them!

Does your feeding schedule promote a healthier gecko? Influence excersize? Or just for the variety?
