• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

Hello, recently (about a month and a half ago) I transferred my 8 year old leopard gecko from a 10 gallon cage to a 40 gallon one. She appears to love it compared to her last cage as she has multiple different hides cold and hot to choose from, however feeding is a different story. The first time i fed her, she was on eco earth so i immediately pulled her off as i saw her swallowing some ( she got 6-8 crickets). Next week i fed her on newspaper and she got 2-3. the week after that she ate a giant tomato hornworm no problem. a few days she ate 2-3 crickets and a day or two after that she ate 2-3 more. Now its been a week and this feeding she only ate 2. She has been losing alot of weight and not eating as much as she did before the 40 gallon tank since she dosent exactly have the best strike-rate/ eyesight and the crickets can get away really fast. im considering switching her to dubia roaches as theyre healthy and cant run away as fast. Im greatly worried for my pet, any suggestions are welcomed.
 
I would definitely try her on dubia roaches as they have more protein and less chitin than crickets. They're also a lot slower than crickets so they're easy to catch, but they still move around enough to be enticing.
