I love watching mine stalk the crickets I drop in his terrarium! When she gets bigger try dropping in a live grasshopper, they go nuts over them!!!!! My big boy loves them.

The picture was from the first day I had brought Pokie home....I had purchased some canned crickets and had offered one to her, which she gratefully accepted.
She now only eats live insects and baby food. for anyone wanting to keep any type of gecko, i would not recommend the dead crickets....one, they stink....two, it is much more fun to watch your pet hunt

Yeah, I know, canned crickets are awful!! My gecko refused to eat live crickets for a while after feeding her a dead canned one. She thought it was disgusting! I've just been able to get her eating live crickets now after a two months!! Had to feed her locusts instead for a while!
They stink like hell, and I swear they're gonna keep jumping alive at any second!! I hate it! And yet I have no problems with feeding alive ones!! It's weird!
