    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....

Ok I am trying to feed my leo a pinkie since she has been laying eggs and I didn't want her to get underweight. I couldn't get live ones so I thawed one but she isn't having anything to do with it. I tried shaking it in front of her face and all around her but she has shown no interest. Is there something else I can do or will she just not eat the dead pinkies? Any suggestions would be helpful ! :shrug01:
Thanks
Stephanie
 
Well it sounds liek you are on the right track there. Have you tried giving her some time alone with it? Usually either shaking it very lightly in a such a way as to not annoy or scare her or leaving her alone with it works. If nothing else try to wait till you can get live?
 
I doubt seriously that she is going to feed on a thawed pinky. I've seen a few do it over the years but its a rarity in my experience.
 
Feeding Pinkies to Leo's

Mine will only eat live and they will only eat them on the first day they are born when they are the littlest.
You may have to get a pair of mice and breed your own. Also a friend of mine put's the thawed pinkies in one of the dishes that vibrate. That works for her.
 
Every single gecko I have that will eat pinks will eat F/T off of tongs. As far as mine go, if they won't eat F/T they won't eat live either.

Not all geckos will eat pinks, some will taste them and then move on while others will pound them down. You can try live but don't be suprised if they don't take them either.
