Unboxing & Setting Up Feeder Insects For Geckos! 

Stephanie Lee LOL

Doesn't sound like a joke to me😂 I have three Leos

haha yeah :')

lol, I think that's the easier part

Hey, i am REALLY considering buying a leopard gecko but need to convince my parents. I just wanted to ask, can you feed a leopard gecko on just live meal worms or is it a necessity to feed them crickets as well or is it optional? If you can reply that would be great! :D

yeah im pretty sure i read thats one of the things that contains too much phytic acid, hence why im not using it lol. and yeah i thought that was the case about the morio worms.

i guess its nice they get a good meal beforehand lol

Leopard Gecko haha yep

@@leopardgeckotalk the last supper

@@leopardgeckotalk hi I got my first ever leopard gecko last Sunday she was always fed only on wax worms since I got her I can't get her to eat I got locusts and a few Mario worms. Do you have any idea how i can get her to eat other things?

thank you :)

Leopard Gecko I can hear yanny!

C N123 really you can. I hear laurel

Andrew's Animals I know it's crazy I think you hear both but maybe your brain thinks laurel

C N123 yeah sometimes i listen to it thinking yanny and I can sort of hear it. It actually is laurel though

Its a cleaning beetle. Alot of cricket breeders keep these beetles in the bins to help clean up dead crickets and such.

The tiny darkling beetles are buffalo beetles, they dont eat a lot of decaying crickets, more so they eat the fass (droppings). There are also dermestid beetles and larvae which are flesh eating worms and beetles and they are great to have in any insect colony.

@@powerof4200 can i use superworms as cleaner crew

@@yesyes1299 no, not really though they can be somewhat cannibalistic.

I have a lot of dark and Beatles and I was Wondering if it’s possible that those could be a cleanup crew for geckos tank? All the research I’ve done doesn’t tell me an answer.

Peanut Butter do u hear laurel or yanny

Da_Derpy_ Gecko I hear yanny but I've heard Laurel one time

Me too

I hear Yanny. I saw a video that explained if you have good hearing, and you’re young you hear Yanny. It’s something to do with the pitch - ASAP science did a video on it :)

Yanny

hahaa i'm used to it now, doesnt bother me lol

Leopard Gecko I’m still fascinated by your channel tho

i cringed when i saw your profile picture

@@madisonwilson9341 rude

madison wilson its a dog

thanks :) i'll try that. some people have said to leave them in an empty container on their own with no food for them to pupate?

Leopard Gecko you do, when in groups they are competitive for food. The way I think is easiest to breed them is get a tackle box with the separators put a single worm in each compartment and leave them there in a dark area for a few weeks. Not feeding them is the best way for them to pupate quicker. Once they turn into beetles you can then House the beetles together and feed them (carrots and such) and they will breed and die within a month or so

Leopard Gecko yes, leaving them in a container with no food works well, but the pupae tend to be messed up and bad. My way, they can get extra nutrients during their time in there and the eco earth helps keep it natural. This way, most of the pupae are fine and healthy. You can make a video with this method of breeding. Thanks! I love your channel, keep doing what you are doing! 😝

What is this stuff used in the video

Heyitslopey ! Thank you 😊

Go to your local pet/reptile shop and ask for them or just look them up online

Kunaal Gupta yeah thought I’d give it a go, give them lots more room :)

Emily Kennedy I have persuaded my mum to get a retile but it took years to do it but it was worth it

Not, really. There's a lot of wrong things about this video. I breed 5 different kinds of feeder insects. Dubia, lateralis, golden crickets, mealworms and superworms. 1st the worst thing about this video is using wood shaving, you should never use wood shaving to mealworms and superworm, petshops use it because most them don't know how to care for them and some use it because they don't want you to learn how to breed mealworms or superworms so you will constantly buy from them. Second superworm only pupate when they got isolated because the other superworms will eat it when it turned into a pupa, there are rare cases that they do pupate but very rare. 3rd silent crickets are only juvenile crickets. 4th you should put your feeder insects in a much bigger enclosure that is well ventilated. Lastly crickets need a lot of hides and space to keep them from killing each other. If you got successful on raising your own feeder insects you will almost never buy insect feeders again, maybe just a few every now and then just to introduce new bloodline to keep their genetic healthy.

Also vermiculite helps better with the smell when keeping crickets!

Dinosaurs Terroir World I shall have to try this, thanks :)

Leopard Gecko also places them in a dark humid and hot place and cover them with a blankets if you have one for at least 1-2weeks until they turn into pupae

Smiley The Egg thanks :)

Leopard Gecko ur welcome

EW Tiger girl I agree definitely

Thank you 😊😊😊

EW Tiger girl Copy Cat

Basjuh thank you :)

Alfredo Wh second hand stuff is always a great way, it’s how I set up a lot of gizmos tank when I first got her, but it’s always important to disinfect anything that has been previously used.

And also where can i get a good leapord gecko from in England

Alfredo Wh reptile shows sell a ton of second hand stuff. Just don't do that to much with the wood pieces. But the resin designed decor and tanks can be up to 70% cheaper than the stores. Another one is the wish app I found has select over stock of a lot of fish/reptile stuff. If it's safe for fish it's amphibian safe which in turn is lizard safe when it comes to decor.

Mieghal van der Bergh haha great minds think alike )

TheCookingNerd there is

P.S A haiku is a 3 line poem that has 5 syllables on the 1st line, 7 on the next line and 5 on the 3rd line

Awesome and very true :)

Leopard Gecko thx

Turkish cockroaches are very fast, for example my gecko is a very lazy lizard so he just didn't bother catching them and they were running away, even i had problems taking them from their enclosure and my gecko's after he was too bored to catch them. they also climb onto walls of hides and it's hard to get them out, especially when your gecko is inside. you don't want to scare it

allard westra good idea, thanks for that :)

Mitchell Lubline omg 😂😂 I will definitely have to keep that in mind.

OhcomeOnYou thank you! :)

Janet Robinson thanks :)

Leopard Gecko i think you take lovely care of your animals. I am getting a crestie for Christmas:) I know my first comment was sorta bland, but I love what your doing.

Samuel Rabuck haha woah! Yeah I went through a time of successful breeding mealies. May try again soon.
