I caught a Mediterranean gecko about a week ago. He is only about an inch big, we were going to let him go but don't want him to get eaten so we decided to keep him. We bought him flightless fruit flies and he liked them but havent found any where that sell them any more. What else could I feed him? I also tried tiny crickets but he doesn't seem to want to eat them.

thank you

The diet should have variety. Feed them crickets, flies, moths, spiders, and other small invertebrates. They should all be sprinkled with vitamin and calcium supplements.In the wild, these geckos are occasionally seen licking nectar from flowers or the juices of fallen, over-ripe fruit. It is doubtful whether this benefits their health, but they definately enjoy the addition of something sweet to their diet. A solution of honey and water (or artificial nectar as fed to humming birds) or soft fruit may be placed in the terrarium. The fruit will have to be replaced frequently to prevent it from going bad. A popular method is to use a sugar cube moistened with a few drops of multi-vitamin solution such as Abidec. The geckos will gradually lick this away, and in doing this will benefit from the vitamins. At the time of writing this, we have never tried to do any of these methods, but will try soon.Feeding your geckos regularly at night will give you many opportunities to see them.
