    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello,

I know that I have read various care sheets regarding feeding but wanted some actually opinions

4 month old gecko -- Do you feed only at night or keep feeders on hand all the time? Below how many daily.

How many cricket?
Mealworms?
Wax worms?

Beardie - 5 months 19 grams - 8"

Feeding salad in AM with two meal worms to attract his attention

Evening feeding. How many

Crickets?
Wax?
Horned?

Thanks
 
I am assuming you have a leopard gecko and my advice is for that. At that age, I would feed every night and about 10 appropriate sized crickets. Leave mealworms in a bowl and waxworms are really for treats (and they are addicting).
For your beardie, try to stay away from mealworms, switch to medium superworms. Greens in the morning is good to get them eating salad. For lunch and dinner feed as many crickets as he will eat in a 15 minute time frame (could be as much as 30 per feeding). Waxworms are treats and hornworms are full of moisture so maybe 2 a week, on different days.
