If you are talking about G. ulikovski - mine rarely eat insects. Mine eat almost entirely fruit. They like peaches, mangos, banana, grapes, apples, and blueberries.
yeah i noticed that to. not seen mine eat any yet. will try fruit not sure if they are male or female either. one is dark green with yellow/gold stripes and the other is mainly dark green with yellow/gold tints. any ideas? they also not get on very well, like to fight alot?cheers again

They are difficult geckos to sex, but males do have hemipenes. They are just barely noticable. It took me a few weeks to realize (=come to grips with) the fact I had two males. They didn't fight during that time, I would occasionally hear some squabbling and gecko blabbering, but nothing brutal. The smaller male, however, spent most of his time towards the bottom of the cage. I think in the long run keeping males together is a very bad idea because while they don't appear to fight, the dominant individual seems to stress the others severely.
Seeing these geckos eat fruit is quite comical. They devour it like sharks feeding on seals.

i use potting soil. for hiding, one male has a PVC tube in his cage, and the other has a large ceramic tile leaned against the cage wall (the cage is white on three sides). They have their preferences believe it or not.

i wouldn't know about color - i haven't seen enough to say for sure. but, of all the Gekko species i am familar with i have never had reason to say they were sexually dimorphic in regards to coloration

males are quite gold, while females are more mottled with melanin wash.
