6th month birthday

[puppylover160]

My gecko was 6 months old yesterday and I don't know whether to start feeding her every other day or not:? I want to start doing this but looking at her hungry sad face makes me want to feed her. What should I do

Hello ~

What is the total length of your 6 mo leo? Have you some idea of her weight?

A photo will help.

Depending upon what you say, I may recommend still feeding her daily. It's very important to feed her all she'll eat in about 15 minutes right now.

Leos max out in length and weight at about 18 mo.

I'd say feeding her every other day would be fine.

She is 30 grams and 8 inches/18 centimeters long

I generally feed her 8 or 9 crickets every day, should I keep doing tyst

Hi puppylover160~

When I do metric conversion online here's what I get: 18 cms = 7.09 inches. Were you starting with cms or inches?

Continue feeding her 8-9 crickets 6-7 days per week.

She has a lot of growing left to reach 60-70ish grams. That's an average weight for a 9 inch total length female.

I started with inches, she was a bit squirmy still

How do I know when to start feeding her less?

When your leo weighs 50 grams, then feed her less.
