Tiger’s toys

Posted by Sarah on August 20, 2008

In addition to a rock hide and a food and water dish for our leopard gecko’s cage, we got a Peek a View Burrow by T-Rex Vivarium Foam Systems.

Tiger seems to like it – of course being one of our pets he likes to crawl underneath the foam system instead of crawling into the burrow, but every night he is waiting on top of the burrow for Jeff to feed him his crickets.

I love that you can mist one end of the burrow, and use it as a humid hide, so we don’t have to have a separate humid hide for Tiger- I didn’t realize that when we were first looking at the burrow, and I was wondering how I was going to fit it and another hide in his cage.

We also got Tiger some of Zoo Med’s Leopard Gecko Food, which we haven’t used yet, Leopard Gecko Dust by T-Rex,and a Can O’ Crickets.

Jeff is still talking about how bad the Can O’ Crickets stank!

Tiger did eat one of the canned crickets when Jeff fed it to him using some wooden tongs, but he didn’t eat the two that Jeff left in his food dish.

Jeff said he didn’t blame him for not eating something that smelled that bad.

I guess I don’t blame him that much – and I’m not planning on opening that can of crickets any time soon.

Of course it will be nice for Tiger to be able to eat some of them if we have trouble getting crickets in the winter.

I’m not even going to try them with the chameleons since they only eat live food, but poor Tiger is going to have to try again.

What’s in your geckos cage, and what do you feed your geckos?

Leave a comment and let me know – Tiger wants to know if he’s missing out on anything!

Thanks.
