How do geckos care for their young?

Answer 1

A baby gecko will eat the same type of diet as the adults but in smaller portions and smaller feeders. A baby gecko will require feedings daily. They can eat pinhead crickets, wingless fruitflys or small roaches depending on size of the animal.

Answer 2

If you mean what do they eat - their diet consists of small insects such as crickets, and meal-worms. They simply grab the food, and swallow. They don't have the jaw movement to chew, so everything gets swallowed whole.

Answer 3

It is normal for most geckos to fend for themselves since the day that they hatch. Most gecko species will find a mate and copulate and after mating, the female will deposit 2 hard shelled eggs 2-8 inches deep in moist/damp bedding/soil. After the eggs have incubated and the eggs hatch, the little geckos are left by themselves to dig up through the soil and find a safe place to hide. Baby geckos will spend the majority of their first day going through their first shed. After they have removed their first shed, the animal is left to fend for its self.

The tokay gecko is a species of gecko that has a different approach on parenthood. Tokay geckos do not lay hard shelled eggs in the soil, instead this species will find a suitable location for their eggs and "glue" 2 softer shelled eggs to a surface. The two eggs are usually very close together and then protected by BOTH parents! In the wild, the baby geckos will then fend for themselves, in captivity most breeders remove the babies from the terrarium to ensure that they are not mistaken as prey.
