Make sure you gut (feed) the insects before you give them to the gecko. never feed them wild insects because they carry diseases OFTEN. Make sure also to put calcium powder on the insects before you feed the gecko. Only do this about twice a week (read directions to make sure).

P.S-make sure the food is no wider than the gecko's jaw, don't feed him adult crickets or big cockroaches.
