How to place and feed a gecko that has just arrived home:

For the ciliary gecko on the first day after arriving home: replenish water, rest, and do not disturb it as much as possible.

Night of the second day: Feeding is carried out, and it is recommended that fruit puree be served as a self-service meal.

On the morning of the third day: take out the puree plate and observe the eating situation. (If you haven’t eaten, it may be due to the bumpy road, not adapting to the new environment, or the new environment and temperature are not suitable. If this happens, you can apply the fruit puree to the gecko’s mouth on the third night. (hand feeding to fill the stomach)

About the frequency of feeding:

No matter how many grams the individual weighs, it can be fed once every two days, or once every three days. Individuals (including newborn larvae) were fed once every three days, and no individuals were found to have problems due to hunger or overeating. If the feeding day is busy, the feeding day can be moved forward or delayed by one day, which will not affect the health of the gecko.
