How do you take care of a baby gecko?

Answer 1

well you get it a small not to big cage and you can fill it with rocks or sand I prefer sand because they are dry animals and rock can get really cold and you can feed them either of two things cricket or meal worms I prefer meal worms by the way the meal worms can only be store bought

Answer 2

To handle a baby crested, you basically put your thumb and fore-finger in an L shape and he or she generally will jump on as baby's are very good at jumping! However, if the little mite doesn't jump on every time, it would probably be best to pick the gecko up via putting a finger underneath the chin and letting him or her climb on. For adults, you can either do it in the same way as the second method for a baby one or you can pick it up around the middle with one fingerand with the fore-finger around the chin for extra support very gently. If the gecko has been bought off of someone who has not handled the gecko very much or has been saved from a bad environment, the gecko may bite you when you pick him or her up. If this occurs, dont panic because it doesnt hurt as they dont have any teeth and secondy, the more it is gently handles, the more used to it it gets and in the end, it will become more tame and no longer bite.

Answer 3

Baby crested geckos are kept in the same conditions as adults but require more feedings. A small 10-15Qt container with holes drilled in the lid with paper towel substrates would be efficient.

Answer 4

Just as you would an adult one except that it eats more.

Answer 5

Crested geckos are docile and socialable animals. They are handleable and enjoy a 10-20 minute holding session once or twice a week.
