Well When you first bye them, leave them in the cage for two though four days to get use to there new enviorment. Also try to hold the at least four days a week or there tail will fall off. its not bad if there tail falls off. They will grow a new chubby tail. And give them three to five mealworms or superworms a week. If the gecko is small, give it three to four crickets a day. As it gets older give it five to six crickets evry other day. One good way to strt a good relastionship with your gecko is to put a towel over the bathtub drain, sit on the towel and play with your gecko. Yes in the bath tub. First make sure it is dry.
