What you need to pay attention to when raising a gecko:

1. Prepare a breeding box

Before raising a gecko, novices need to prepare a breeding box, fine sand, stones, heating pad, and water. Basins, rice basins and other materials. A heating pad can be placed at the bottom of the terrarium to keep it warm in winter. And lay a layer of fine sand at the bottom of the box. Stones can be used to build caves and create a natural growing environment. The breeding box can provide a good living environment for the gecko, ensure the stability of the temperature, and prevent it from wandering around the home.

2. Rest for a period of time

In the early stages of raising geckos, you need to rest for a period of time. During this period, try not to disturb its normal rest. The ambient temperature needs to be stable at 25~ between 30℃. When there is a large difference in temperature changes, it is necessary to adjust the temperature in the box in a timely manner and provide appropriate heating to avoid poor growth.

3. Choose the right food

You can choose to feed the geckos mealworms, barley worms and crickets as staple food on a daily basis. On this basis, you can also feed fresh vegetables and fruits. Supplement vitamins and water. When feeding, it is also necessary to ensure that the food is fresh and delicious to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort after eating.

4. Feeding at regular intervals

Geckos cannot be fed at will at the owner's own time. Instead, they need to be fed at regular intervals according to the gecko's habits, from evening to night. The uterus is the most active and is more suitable for feeding.

5. Quantitative feeding

Quantitative feeding is also very important. Gastrointestinal disease is the most common and most difficult disease for geckos, and at least half of the causes of gastrointestinal diseases are due to overeating. caused by digestion. Due to long-term artificial breeding, the gastrointestinal immune function of the geckos has gradually deteriorated. Some geckos are even unable to control their hunger and fullness, and tend to eat as much as they want.

6. Seek medical attention in time

When the gecko is injured or injured, you should seek medical treatment promptly and take medication to better ensure the health of the gecko.

2. The reason why the gecko doesn’t eat may be because the food is unpalatable, so the owner can change the food that the gecko likes.

3. The reason why the gecko refuses to eat may be because he is sick. At this time, the gecko will refuse to eat, which requires treatment first and then feeding.

4. The gecko’s refusal to eat may be caused by estrus, so feeding can be suspended at this time.
