yayy!! The last two nights, I've seen my leopard gecko catch and eat a crickets I know this is a normal, every-day thing but I'd never seen it before. It was very interesting to watch.. I love the way she hunted it haha, and I love the way her head turns from side-to-side while watching it just before she grabs it

haha... I just thought I'd share this with you =]

I love leos!!!

Haha, they're cute in every way! I remember the first time I saw them poop, those legs were hilarious, LOL.

Did she shake her tail just before pouncing? my first one did that, and im sure alot of my others do.

I love the tail wiggling right before the attack. So anxious!

Lol I remember the first time I saw my little leo eat a cricket! It was my first Leo and she was very young... I was sitting across the room and I seen her tilt her head and shake her tail (I did not see the cricket in front of her) So I thought she was having a seizure or something! I got so worried lmao! Jumped online and did some research to find out she was just hunting!

 

[GothicGurrrl]

yeah!! she was shaking her tail and tilting her head from side-to-side and staring out the crickets It was sooo cute!!

Haha I know! lol why what happens with the legs? I've never actually seen mine poop yet, just found poop in the corner of her viv.

I remember when my gecko ate! He went on a feeding strike right after I got him, because he was housed in a breeding rack and I had put him in a glass tank. So I finally figured out why he wasn't eating, and I moved him to a 28qt bin and oh my goodness it was like the angels were singing the first time I saw him eat! I was so happy! Hahaha! So, congrats! I know you must be happy!

 

[GothicGurrrl]

woooo thanks =]
and, that's great! I'm glad he's eating!

 

[maggiee22195]

woooo thanks =]

Hahah yeah, i has been a year since that scare. But I am getting probably 3 or 4 more leopard geckos in about 13 days and I am SO excited! I hope that I don't have the same problem with them, but I shouldn't. But again, I'm glad you saw yours eat! It is such a great moment when you see them eat or drink or poop for the first time! Good luck with your leos!!
