I have a gecko that came in my house from outside and i cant get him out what do i feed him2007-11-24 2:00:15

I know they eat live insects but i can't have a bunch of bugs running around. will he eat dead bugs? I tried to leave out some bread crumbs but i guess he doesn't eat that either. Also i live on a small island where there are no pet stores where I can buy dead bugs or anything. Please help me keep my wayward gecko alive.

Answers:

You don't have to feed it. It will find it's own food. If you live on a tropical island like I do, your house propably has more bugs than you know. You just don't see them. Your gecko will be fine. Just say, "Hello" when he runs up the wall as you are watching television, and try not to scream to loudly when he scares you.

You could keep the live insects in a container with holes in them and when you want to feed the gecko just get one out and give it to him and u should give him water if you didn't already.

He'll head outside soon enough, especially when the warmer weather is with us at night - when the bugs are out and about.

They like to head indoors every now and then, and will move to find food if there's none around inside.

The best thing to do is to try to gently capture him in a jar or something and release him back outdoors.

There probably isn't an easy way for you to feed him and maintain a proper diet for him. If he's stuck in a cabinet or some place you can't reach, you could at least provide a shallow dish of water or something.
