well after 9 years of having my gecko I added a humid house for him (I didn't know what they were till a few weeks ago)... I added it I think 2 weeks ago... anyway, he has not gone in it yet, why?

second question.... I've been feeding my gecko about 5-8 crickets a day and then the next day I do about 5-8 mealworms.... is this alright?

He's probably a little confused with the addition of the new hide. He'll eventually use it. Most likely when he sheds again. The diet is fine. I'm surprised he eats that much. Mine ate like that when they were young but since they got around 2 years old or so they would only eat every other day, sometimes 2. Never daily.

okay thanks! yeah sometimes I won't feed him for a day if I don't have time, most of the time he eats 90% of what I put in and sometimes will leave a cricket/mealworm or 2 and eat them a few hours later...

Matilda, my leo, never had a moist hide with her previous owner (I got her when she was about 4.5 years) and at first it appeared she NEVER went in it...I showed her the opening, and reminder her it was there and she just seemed to never use it. One day I moved it so the opening was a little more accessible (not sure what the difference was, because it was pretty easy to get into before!) and she just walked right in and laid down. Now she never wants to leave! It is her favorite hide by far. Spends most of her time in it. What do you have inside your moist hide? I originally put moss in it, however, I had to remove the moss because when she shed she was ingesting the moss while trying to get her skin off. Once she was used to the moist hide, she was happy with just moist paper towels.

I have the coconut fibers that you would use for hermit crabs, I spray it about once a day and I have some moss I bought at petco in the back of it.... It is just a small plastic container you would use for food with a hole cut in it. I put black tape all around it to make him feel more secure and then glued some leftover carpet to it so it fit in with everything better....

i have a question 2 i have a leopard gecko and its eye is pink and both eyes wont open and it seems like he is blind do u no anything about that or can give me any info

You might get more replies if you start your own thread. And we like more details, like how old is the leopard gecko in question, what are you feeding, supplements, what type of substrate and heat ~ anything about his care. I don't know anything about eye disorders so I am no help in that department, sorry! If you post in your own thread you are more likely to have someone come along who will know more
