Geckos?
Hey, I want to get some geckos and have a few questions:
- If I get leopard geckos, how much do they eat per day? Per animal, that is? Especially grasshoppers, etc. How much of what?
2 Do you need to clean the terrarium? And if so, how often.
I would like to know more about how often you have to feed etc.
I look forward to answers 👋👋👋
Best regards

So, to your question, how much the geckos eats. I feed my young animals for example every day 2-3 grilling, secreting or small frightening. My big ones get all 2-3 days also 3-4 frightening etc… occasionally you can also offer waxy larvae or flourworms, but you should really only offer them in between because the real fat are bombing.
Then you should take care that you would never kill several males in a terrarium as these would fight to death or severe injuries.
And now to your question whether to clean up the terrarium. Of course? Every day kot and remove urin is a must. Daily fresh water, of course. The bottom floor which in the optimal case should be a solid substrate is exchanged at least 2 times a year completely and disinfects the entire terrarium. (What to do with hide and shells, planes etc regularly). Important is you have to deal intensively with the animals you lay down. Read a lot and watch videos before buying a pet.
