My little sister brought in a baby Mediterranean House Gecko yesterday that she had caught. He is very small, alittle more than an inch. I think he may be too small to care for, but my sister has absolutely fallen in love with it. Any information will help because she keeps trying to feed it flies that she swatted with a newspaper.

Thanks...

You might want to try ordering some flightless fruit flies or pinhead crickets off of the 'net. You could also try hunting around outside for some termites off of an untreated piece of wood or a tree stump but the problem with that is you don't know if they've been exposed to pesticides and the like. Taking care of the really little guys isn't all that hard, you just have to make sure they have the proper size live prey

P.S. Make sure you read up on the proper care and housing of the gecko to keep it happy and healthy.

hunting outside for them is never a great idea... you never know
