What do you do with your Gecko when you are on vacation

[sjesmom77]

Hi,

We have had our gecko about 6 months now. My son named him Mr Cookie dough because he thinks he looks like chocolate chip cookie dough. (tan with brown spots) We are going on our first vacation in about a month for 8 days. What do you guys do with your Gecko when you are on vacation? If we give him a bunch of meal worms and crickets the day we leave will he be okay for the week?

Thanks for any advice

If I'm gone for 5 or fewer days and geckos are over 40g I would just leave lots of worms. 8 days is a bit long though. I might have someone come in and give him a few worms and make sure he has water. I'll usually ask a neighbor's kid or something and pay them $5. Then it's a win-win situation
