    Such a cute gecko, and a very nice video:) Just a few things I noticed, some things you could do to help your gecko feel more secure are:
    -More foliage!! In the enclosure, add more leaves, branches, vines. He's a tiny gecko, and open space is scary. Also, covering one or more of the terrarium sides with dark paper may help too!
    -Not handling at all in the first week or so. When you gecko is first settling in, not handling at all can help with quicker acclimation into the new environment, and help him be more confident later on.
    -dimmer lights. Chameleon geckos are active at night, so dimming the lights when handling can help the gecko be more active and enthusiastic.
    That's it, and maybe it can help applesauce be even better friends with you!!

    I'm absolutely positive that Applesauce & Q-tip would love that mega Ewok Tree Village set. I've always wanted to see that sett in great detail. When you film your little guys we get to see the lego set in wonderfully detailed ways. I'd be very happy watching you live stream that build too.
    (You might need a new channel though? You know, so as to not mess up all the hard work you've already done training the YT algorithm. You know this better than me though.) This particular set has fake trees, leaves & looks like it'd be a ton of fun to build. Where would you store it afterwards? Is that particular set, once fully built, gonna be an issue for space? What about keeping it clean? Size matters... in this case. 😂
    Alas, that particular Lego set was my dream set from the day it came out. The box barely fits into a Wal-Mart trolly, it'sso big! It was returned to store one year, right around xmas time. I sincerely toyed with my budget at the time to see if i could swing it... nooe. It was way too expensive for me back then. It's hard to justify $300 plus 15% sales tax, right before the holidays. _Especially,_ when I had 2 little humans running around at home awaiting Santa Claus. Apparently, children require things like food, clothing & toys? Not just me, buying _ONE GIANT LEGO SET!_ Although, it woulda been great fun, I'm pretty sure we'd have all starved to death while building it. 😂😂😂😂❤

    this might sound silly but i have a trick for gaining an animals trust a tiny bit/making them less scared. Ive tested this on amphibians, reptiles and cows lol;
    1. Make eye contact and make sure your eyes are at the same height as the animals'. So crouch if you have to.
    2. Slowly close your eyes and kind bow/lower your head so the animal can see the top of your head. Then slowly go back with your eyes closed and once your head is back to its normal position slowly open your eyes.
    Do this for example when applesauce sees you and freezes for a sec. And repeat daily. This is my own experience but i've found that its much quicker and easier to earn an animals trust by showing them that you trust them. And in general showing that you can be trusted.

    Watch out for gecko gut impaction. Common with gecko pets. Try to use fewer soils and bits that can be ingested during feeds. They take in substrate or bark or stone or soil and block the gut and die from rot or bacteria build up and they either die or stop eating and die.

    There are several reasons why a lizard might not be eating, including:
    Stress
    Reptiles can become stressed when moved to new surroundings or when there are other changes.
    Temperature
    Lizards need to be warm enough to feed, and they might not be able to digest food properly if the temperature drops after they eat.
    Seasonal changes
    Seasonal changes can affect a reptile's appetite, especially for Ball (Royal) pythons.
    Dehydration
    Reptiles need access to clean, fresh water.
    Disease
    Dental problems, parasites, viral infections, foreign objects in the stomach, and stomatitis can all cause a lizard to stop eating.
    Brumation
    Older bearded dragons go into a type of hibernation called brumation, where they rarely move and can go into a deep sleep for short periods of time.
    Insecurity
    Lizards might not eat if they feel insecure, so you should provide a place for them to hide.

    I don't know if this is a thing or not. But the reason your gecko didn't eat might be because he doesn't know what food is. I've seen this described by other people who raise animals. It seems like not every animal is aware of what they are supposed to eat and what is edible food for them. In the wild in these case either a parent or sibling would be able to show what is safe to eat. Not sure if that's what's happened here, but it seems to be. also he might not like sour things.
