Ok
im a newbie
wanted the general concensus around the world

My gecko is litereally 2 weeks old from the egg. is eating the last week. eats 2 wax worms a day, or 1 worm and 1 cricket or 2 crickets. basicaly two servings lol

i am wondeirng, what should the ratio of their food be, i just want a general motion on this.

should it be 50% wax worms, and 50% crickets?
need ideas from all. i hear mealworms do not have much nutrients in it.

also, how do you guys know if you adult gecko is 'too fat'.

and one more thing, should i be concerned in the 'fatness' when the gecko is under months old? or is that a old age breeding issue?
