What type of supplement do you recommend? I have been dusting them, but when he doesn't eat them as soon as I put them in the crickets get the dust off before he can can eat them.
He hasn't eatten the wax worms yet. I didn't want to tell anyone this BUT>
I tried to feed my tokay the pinky using the tweezers, and sadly it didn't work!!! It was terrible! He actually bit the poor thing shook it around acouple times and dropped it! When I got the pinky out it was bleeding from the nose and had internal trauma on top and bottom of the head. Plus, the leg seemed to be broke and bleeding! I will NEVER buy a pinky for him again after seeing that! I never ever want to be bitten by him either!

when I first tried feeding my leo's waxworm theydidn't know what they were so I tapped it on the nose and my leo licked and then WACK it wolfed it down but be warned apparently feeding to many can make the gecko addicted and it may refuse to feed on anything else

a little trick to try... dust the pinky with what ever dust you normaly feed with... my leo will not touch the very occasional pink, unless it is dusted...

thanks, but I am not sure I want to try to feed pinkys to him anymore...from what happened to the last on...well it was terrible. I don't think he will even try to eat anything other than crickets. I have tried superworms, waxworms, mealworms, a pinky. He only will eat the crickets.
