Yes. It can be handled. Put one hand in front of the gecko. Then, with the other hand, nudge it so that it goes onto your hand. Keep ypur hands still, and if it looks scared, cup one hand over it so it feels more secure. Never grab by its tail, as it will drop off. I would advise holding it with your hands inside its tank/cage, so if it tries to jump off your hands it will land in its cage and can't run away. At first the gecko will not like being held. Keep handling it and eventually it will get used to it and not jump down all the time.

What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?

Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!

Leopard geckos are strictly insectivores relying on insects and creepy crawlies for nutrients. I have heard of some leopard geckos feeding on repashy meal replacement powder. Try coating your crickets with this powder to get the leopard gecko customed to it first. then provide it in a bowl once or twice a month as a treat.


Will a leopard gecko eat a frog?

In the wild, a leopard gecko would not encounter a frog, therefore it should not be fed frogs in captivity. As a hobbyist, we are trying to replicate their natural environment. In most cases, feeders must be no larger than the space between the animals eyes and most frogs are much larger than that.
