Hi all. Got my gecko last Tuesday and she is settling in to her viv very well. I am amazed at how well she climbs! She is eating well and due to be weighed again tomorrow. She eats everything that I put in with her (3 medium sized crickets every other day). I am happy that she is eating well but should I be feeding her more often as she seems to have a good appetite. Would this just make her fat - don't want no fat girl.

Any suggestions gratefully received

Cheers

Neil

I know you said they were medium, but how long in mm?
They shouldn't really give a cricket longer than the distance btween his eyes, and as much as he wants (unless he becomes obese).
Enjoy your gecko!

The size tends to vary upon the ones which I can catch. However anywhere between 5mm to just over 10mm. Glad to know that I can feed her whatever she will eat. Will keep a close eye on just how much weight she is putting on and will remain happy as long as she is gaining weight for the moment.

Cheers

Neil
