New to Leopard Geckos & Cricket raising
Hi,
This site helped me so much with my cricket growing attempt (I now have pinheads, woot!) that I decided to join.
My mom was never one to turn down an animal in need. Over the years we had many animals, including iguana, water dragon, python, and mom still has a bearded dragon named Dorothy.
I recently was given 4 leopard geckos by a friend of a friend who is divorcing and moving to NYC. She rescued them from a school where they were starving. Now they are fat and sassy and eat A LOT. There are two males and two females. One female appears to be "in charge" the other is her BFF. One male is a piggy and seems to wait for permission to hunt or drink, from the alpha female. The other male has me a bit worried, he isnt too skinny, but his tail is much smaller than the others.
They appear to be shedding now, at the beginning stage of it.
My kids are 11, 13 & 15 and we are LOVING these little lizards. We are working on keeping a cricket colony, because the pet shop is 40 min away. Plus if we grow them, feed them well, and gut load them, we know they are healthy. I had mites in one "pod" which was made out of a pop bottle, with the top set back on it. I thought at first they were baby crickets, as baby crickets are described as "grain of sand" size. In my opinion they look nothing like a grain of sand. They are teeny tiny crickets with teeny tiny antennas. Very cute.
Anyhow, I would appreciate any info or tips or tricks anyone has with Leopard Geckos.
Many thanks!
Becca
