Hi
I've posted this in the wrong place also.... Under the care sheets. Is there a mid who can delete that one? Sorry.... New here.
Anyway....
I have 2 of my one cresties but am looking after a friend's leopard for 6 weeks. I've had him a couple of weeks now and as I don't want to worry her while she's away, I thought I'd check a couple of things on here with experts if that's OK? He has locusts but he doesn't seem to eat them.... He certainly doesn't jump on them straight away like one of my cresties does when I put crickets in. She assured me not to worry if they are in there too long as they leave him alone (I've heard of the bugs feeding on the gecko before). I've had to pull out dead ones but also part eaten ones, where I wonder if the locusts have eaten each other??? I can't see that he's eating them. Anyway, after having used the ones she'd supplied me, I bought some more but in hindsight decided they were too big (bigger than the gap between geckos eyes) so pulled them out and have out in some small crickets (I had small ones at home as crestie less than a year so not progressed on to bigger yet). Thought I'd see how he goes with them but he certainly hasn't sprung on them as yet but did peep his head out of his cave when I put them in). If he eats them, perhaps I'll buy him medium crickets next.
My other worry is that he is not coming out of his cave at all. His cave is on the heated side of his viv.
Any tips?
Oh.... He's a biting leopard gecko so I'm told so I'm afraid I won't be handling him! Apologies to all the leopard gecko lovers out there...... I still think the cresties are by far cuter!!
Thank you in advance!
Sarah.
