New Gargoyle

[Gymcie]

I just brought home my first garg over the weekend from the firexpo in Lakeland. And last night while I was misting and making food/feeding, I got to witness him/her fired up! I am so excited to be taking care of a new baby! He seems to be settling in well.

Grats! I miss my Gargoyles . I live in an apartment and the sprayed (told them not to) and it killed them!

 

[Gymcie]

Awe man! I'm sorry! I'd be so upset too! Hope you get to find some more in the future!

Hi Gymcie! I love your new little Gargoyle. I have one coming as soon as Tuesday, depending on the weather. How big is yours?

 

[Gymcie]

He/she is a month or two old, breeder wasn't exact. I got it from big fat geckos at the firexpo in Lakeland Sept. 15th. It's about 3inches to the end of his tail, 2 to the vent.

How long did it take for your little one to start eating? I know it can take 2 weeks or so sometimes. got mine on Tuesday so it's not eating yet that I can tell.

 

[Gymcie]

I still haven't seen him eat from his dish. I've been hand feeding him every couple days. I always take him off the tree and put him down by his dish in hopes of him smelling it and going to it to eat

I made the mistake of hand feeding mine a little too. Now it seems Gilligan only eats off my finger I am going to have to get tough. Have you tried the new Pangea Fruit Mix Complete? Its like crack for geckos!

 

[Gymcie]

I have a bag of big fat geckos organic mix. Mine loves it. He seems to eat alot of it. I was only hand feeding him I'm the first place because I don't see him eat. I'm too afraid of him dying on me. Lol I'd rather know he's eating when I feed him than just leave him there and wonder.

 

[FaaFaa]

Yep, that's the same reason why I was hand feeding! I can't get anyone in my house to take to the BFGS

 

[Gymcie]

I've been giving mine the bfg mix, small crickets every now and again, and also fruit cups. They drink the neck outta the syrup for them. Not quite big enough yet though to eat the actual fruit chunks. Any 3 of those you can use as a primary diet and they are all just as healthy as the other option. But of course variety is always best.

 

[FaaFaa]

I do PFMC and Clarks along with a few dusted crickets a week. I don't give anything else though. I may have to give something else a go.

 

[Gymcie]

Yeah try more variety.

Congrats on your new garg they're the best! Just you know as well a lot of people say you should hold handling the new pet for the first two weeks that you have them.
