What Do Geckos Eat? Gecko Food
Posted by GuestW on Sep 8, 2009 in Pets • No comments
What kinds of things are gecko food? Geckos are predatory animals. This means that a lot of a geckos day is spent hunting for food.
Geckos eat insects mainly due to their abundance. They like to eat crickets mostly but will generally eat anything they can catch. It is very important to ensure the crickets are not too big for your pet to handle, never feed a gecko a cricket that is larger than its head in size.
There are around 750 species of these fine lizards, that are broken into 4 sub categories, Eublepharinae, Sphaerodactylinae, Diplodactylinae and lastly Gekkoninae.
Feed your gecko twice a day in the beginning months. Reduce to twice a week when they are over 7 months old.
When your gecko reaches adult size you can introduce a pinkie mouse into their diet to keep them at their healthiest.
Can a gecko change color?
Some of the gecko species can change color, like most chameleons do, to blend in with surroundings or adjusting with the temperature. You can find many different colors of geckos, some are brightly colored and display beautiful patterns across their bodies.
Dusting the insects a great way to deliver important vitamins and minerals to a gecko. Insects and the dusting powder can be put together in a plastic bag or tin can, and shaken gently to coat the insects.
Depending on your idea owning and keeping a pet, lizards in general are very interesting animals. Little dinosaur packages you might say. They are usually easy to keep and can adapt and live very long lives, some geckos live to be over 20 years old
