@ikard12345 Thanks....unlike other people who say, "AHHH YOU'RE GONNA KILL HIM!!!".

well if that was true, he wouldn't be alive today. 4 years later and still alive....at 13 years old.

Yeah he's still alive, but it's not HEALTHY. He could die early or something, having hard digesting, maybe IT doesnt feel good cause you're feeding it. The comments are right, they are not aimed towards you, were not hating at you, we're just trying to give you tips cause this isnt good.

And you said you feed it chicken? BAAAAD. Dont feed it stuff like that!

Crickets / Waxworms or Mealworms are what they shall eat.

Nothing. ELSE.

Okay? Cause I feel sorry for that bugger. No offense to u.

@ZonixZ59706090 I think chicken is perfectly healthy. Ever since I began to feed it to him his color brightened up more. He seems to have more energy after eating it because he doesn't hide in his cave as often.

It is just pure stupidity to give a lizard WAY too big food. Even if he is alive today, it won't prove it is good to him have that large food. Locusts are fine if you give them rightsized. The food should not be wider than their head.

@lizardstale I love how ignorant and arrogant people are......that all I have to say.

[toasterhead91]

the size thing isnt too big a deal if you ask me... i genarally try to go with width of mouth, but not always... like ill give my leo goliath worms and what not... i wouldnt feed him insects i got from outside tho cuz of parasites and pesticides

but hey what you do is your buisness

[ZonixZ59706090]

@pspfanboy100

well, yeah I guess it's not unhealthy like that, it's confirmed they can eat it and maybe it's abit good for them what do I know, but dont feed them big portions, like really big, I know some people feed these poor suckers mice. That's wrong.

But what I mean is, nonetheless, whatever you eat, nothing is better for a gecko than crickets. That's their base food source. Chicken might be good, but it's not healthier than crickets :P

Oh well... As long as it's healthy tho ^^

@TheGeckoEcko

Which is why I decided to stop feeding him these things. I feed him chicken now.

[TheGeckoEcko]

@pspfanboy100 still it is very hard for them to digest them and stuff it doesn't matter if he is still kicking i have seen animals last way longer than excpected and just be careful becuase it aint good for an animal to die for no reason

[comanderkuddles]

mine love these too i got the can o grasshoppers and my leo ate one, but it took her a longtime to digest it, and she looked like she felt huge and was walking around all tough afterwards hah
