Can you teach a leopard gecko tricks?

Answer 1

My iguanas roam free around my place but they are crate trained. They will return to their cage to; poop, eat, drink water or sleep. Sometimes they will sleep on my bed and then go poop in their cage. My iguanas are very docile with people they know. I know this because one of them bit my boyfriend one time because he hugged me (it was the first time they met him). It was pretty funny since she began to nod her head, then the other iguana tried to chase my boyfriend. My iguanas do know the command "stay" but I was having to much fun when they were chasing my bf. LOL

My iguanas also live with a little finch I have in my place. My finch isn't trained and doesn't require it since he returns to his cage on his own. Curiously enough he hates being outside of his cage even though he had always been outside, since I didn't have a cage for him. When I got him the cage I guess he felt so safe that he flies back into it all the time.

Answer 2

well it is possible but you have to train it as soon as it i 1 year old. ther is one trick that i thought my turtle and it is two words that will make the turtle hide in his shell. You have to tell the turtle hide and push his shell down. If you keep doing that for about a month when you tell him hide he or she will hide in the shell.

Answer 3

You can teach multiple species of animals to perform a wide variety of tricks. The two variables that feed into this are the intelligence of the animal (a chicken isn't going to learn any tricks) and the physical capacity of the animal (horses can be taught to "count" by pawing the ground but aren't going to be doing backflips like a Border Collie can).

Answer 4

Yes you can! You can teach a leopard gecko to come when called, run through mini tunnels, and jump in the air for a cricket! But you need to give him/her a treat after, and the perfect treat would be waxworks!

Answer 5

Just about anything you can train your dog or cat to do. They are very easily potty trained. Most, including my own, only go to the bathroom in water. I know of some that will use the toilet, exclusively. What you can train depends on the personality of the iquana and of you. They are good climbers and swimmer, decent jumpers, good with there tail, and mine is smart and agile enough to lift the top of his cage and climb out (he's also sneaky enough to do it quietly and when I'm not around). You can train them to use these skills in a number of ways.

Answer 6

It is possible but it takes a lot of patience. They are slow learners.

Answer 7

Not possible. They lack the basic memory retention to enable them remember how to do 'tricks' - besides which - it's not their natural behaviour to learn stuff like that !

Answer 8

No not really, they arnt that clever but they can learn what time you feed them and where that's about it!
