Re: Just Got a Gecko !!
No, if he doesn't eat them within a day, take them out of the enclosure. If the leo is not interested in the crickets and the crickets get hungry, they will start to nibble on your gecko and you don't want that.
Especially if its still the first week he may not eat as many as he did before he came to you because he's still adjusting.

Re: Just Got a Gecko !!
You can also try feeding the gecko by holding the cricket with a pair of tweezers. This solves the probelm of the cricket getting away, and lets the gecko associate you with bringing food.

Re: Just Got a Gecko !!
You can also try feeding in a smaller separate container, something where the crickets don't have anywhere to hide.

Until you get back to us with that info for the short term you can try some turkey or beef, or other meat form of baby food, and just add a drop onto her nose and see if she licks it off.

Re: Just Got a Gecko !!
Leopard Geckos are insect eaters, not fruit eaters. Jelly is not what they need to be eating.
It would be like you trying to live on nothing but sugar.

Re: Just Got a Gecko !!
Ditch the Calci Sand! That stuff is dangerous!

At this stage I would go for the higher end of the range. After 3 weeks the gecko has had plenty of time to settle in and should be pigging out! Your comment that she is losing weight and shaking when she walks concerns me. You need to have a vet examine her

Re: Just Got a Gecko !!
Defiantly keep up with the baby food. Meat baby food, not fruit or vegetables. You need to get something in her even if you don't like having to do it, you want whats best for your animal right?
