@Lonewolf9129 4 года назад

One thing I feel needs mentioned as far as the darkling beetles as feeders. Be weary of their exoskeleton hurting your gecko. I used to let my gecko eat them from time to time, and he loved chasing them. I stopped after he got a piece of shell lodged in his gums that had to be removed. I don't know how many other people have had issues with this but that's my own personal experience. Anyway, love the video as usual!

Another way of preventing mold is to put the food on a lid or something so it doesn't touch the substrate but you obviously still need to remove the food when it goes off

@gabriellaschmidt1832 2 года назад

Thank you for the informative video! What type of bedding do you use? Can I use grains for all of the bugs?

@nightinggale6470 2 года назад

Keep in mind that grains contain phytic acid, which binds calcium. Crickets and roaches don’t need substrate. You can also use paper towel for them.

@bishluca8794 4 года назад

I use a container that I used for my Leo when I was on vacation, I cut a big hole and put that screen and it’s works perfectly. I used a cricket keeper but I just use the tubs for hides in the container. They are probably spoiled. I do have cricket escape time to time, but I when someone finds one my mom kills and it and My cat hunts it.

@CoraYeah6633 2 года назад

I really can thank you enough for these videos! You love helped me so much! I’m trying to convince my mom to let me get a a leopard gecko and your videos have helped me A LOT. I have a question tho could you do a video on how to set up your cricket and mealworm habitat? I saw on a video that you can put the meal worms in the fridge and they will like go into a sleep for a bit but idk if that’s true so a video showing how to set up and store ur cricket/mealworm farm would be great! Also how many different bugs should you feed your gecko? If I lm able to get one I’m planing on feeding it crickets and mealworms but idk if my gecko would need more variety.

@nightinggale6470 2 года назад

Live crickets, roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Mealworms, super worms, and hornworms can be fed occasionally. The more variety in their diet, the better. For crickets, all you need is a decent sized container (with air holes and a secure lid), egg cartons, and veggies.

@jstiver928 4 года назад

Hi Rebecca! Tip on Silkworms! I agree that they are RIDICULOUSLY expensive live. So I found an alternative. ProBugs! ProBugs is a company that sells dub roaches, silkworms, grasshoppers, locusts, etc. They are not alive, but not freeze dried. They are freshly preserved! My geckos (Kota and Kalani) absolutely love them! They are large, so I normally cut them in half, but they will eat them even though they are not alive! And this is also useful in case some bugs are illegal that you want, as these aren't illegal to have preserved :) -Jordyn

ah maybe i'll look into them, though I'm always a little wary of freeze dried, or just dried foods 🙈🙈 but thank you :)

(Not so) Quick question. We get mealworms from a local pet store, not big brand name but a big store, at a quantity of 250, and we take out 20 or so to gutload and then feed our leapord gekco. The store told us to refrigerate the ones we aren't using and take them out 24 hours in advance, but most of them seem to die off before we get to "use" them. Is there any better thing we can do to keep them alive for longer?

@fionashepley478 4 года назад

You could leave them at room temperature but then they’d turn into beetles. You could breed them to get free feeders. Although mealworms are not a healthy staple diet. Feed mainly live crickets or Dubia roaches.

@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 4 года назад

I found that especially crickets are quite difficult to take out of these small containers without some of them escaping. And I also found that fresh food goes moldy quicker in these small containers, probably because the ventilation isn't that great. I would recommend getting a "proper" set up once, then you're good to go. It's like a one-time-investment and it makes your life much easier.

Thank you I’m planning to get a gecko although I’m pretty afraid of crickets how did you get so comfortable while holding those any tips?

You don’t necessarily need to feed crickets. You can feed them mainly Dubia or discoid roaches with various types of worms for variety.

Fiona Shepley thanks worms may be the best but I’ll try the roaches too

Ghazt Ghazt when it comes to worms, most of them (mealworms, superworms, waxworms, and hornworms) can’t be their main diet and can only be used as variety or treats. Silkworms and black soldier fly larvae (aka Phoenix worms or calciworms) are very nutritious and make great staples but unfortunately they aren’t very convenient. Not very easily available, difficult to breed, silkworms only eat mulberry leaves and are difficult to keep long term, etc. Just some things to keep in mind. Roaches are a great staple and don’t really have any cons
