Hibernation in dwarf desert geckos?
Hi, I've been thinking about buying a dwarf desert gecko for my brother for a while now. I have already done a lot of research into the rooms, temperatures, food, etc. I came across an article about winter dysentery. It said that the animals need it for successful mating.

Terraristics?
Could someone suggest animals that are herbivorous but not so big and not insects, i.e. not phasmids? I would be happy.

Names in the animal world are not always a suitable name.
The snow leopard is also called irbis or ounce.
The Kookaburra is called laughter Hans or a hunter’s bat.
The Changing Geige is a fright, but has nothing to do with a violin.
There is the yellow-tailed bass that is simply called Princess Von Burundi.
There is a fruit vampirart that is simply called chocolate frog, there are so many strange names for some animals, but they have nothing to do with the scientific name.
Well, maybe a translation mistake, because you call him Puma, sometimes Jaguar…
But if one goes pure from the outside, he has quite great similarities with a female lioness.
A squid is not a fish either. Trivial names are often not correct biologically. That is why there is the scientific nomenclature.
Because the animals do not always name themselves with a system.
Or why do you think the seahorse is that?
Not always match name and scientific classification. It’s not a bird.
Because the German grammar decided. A sea lion is not a lion.

Because Pumas have nothing to do with lions. They’re not even big cats.
