    Micro Geckos are amazing! We definitely need to promote smaller species in the hobby. They are extremely underrepresented and we can provide such complex habitats for them due to their small size. Your build turned out great! Can’t wait to see more of these lil cuties! 😍

      Thank you so much! This is only the second time I’ve ever seen them in the hobby so I took the opportunity this time around to get a few and hopefully spark people’s interest in these guys. Thanks for watching! ❤️

      Please not, we don't need more parents buying their kids tiny reptiles for Christmas just so that they escape and die within the house's vents lol. Keep these for the experienced people

    I love microgeckos! I currently have a female coleonyx brevis, and hope to get some sphaerodactylus species (torrei or grandisquamis) soon. They're so easy to house and care for, and are certainly great for people with limited space.
    Also, there are a lot of great feeders asides from tiny crickets; i currently culture rice flour beetles, peanut beetles and Buffalo beetles, who's larvae are all tiny and nutritious for geckos. You can also raise isopods, springtails, and micro roaches (still uncommon though) which are all great feeders for tiny geckos.

      I’m so glad to hear other people are interested in these micro species! That’s good to hear there’s more feeders than what I listed, I will say I haven’t heard of most of them and it might be because we have a limited amount of feeders up here in Canada. But the small isopods are a great idea! I’ll be looking into that for sure :) Thank you for watching ❤️

    A nice live food that is quite easy to breed en masse is firebrats.
    Perfect size for T steudneri and many others from the Tropiocolotes genus.

    Great video. If microcrickets aren't available, will other tiny food items complete their diet? Would fruit flies, springtails, isopods, flour beetles, and bean beetles be options? I don't want to get an animal that won't thrive in my care.

    • @RedsFaunaverse
      @RedsFaunaverse  10 місяців тому +1

      I honestly can’t say I confidently know the answer. Part of me wants to say if given a constant variety then it should be ok but I might have to speak to other keepers about this that are more experienced.

  • @richardsanchez5444
    @richardsanchez5444 8 місяців тому

    I have a crested gecko so a bit different but my question has to do with the substrate and the size of the crickets. Do you dump the crickets in there and they find them by themselves? How can you make sure they are eating? I do kinda the same with mine, put in the dubias and when i clean his enclosure i dont see them so obviously hes eating, but how can you tell with the natural substrate?

    • @RedsFaunaverse
      @RedsFaunaverse  8 місяців тому

      I usually will put about 6-12 crickets in a crested gecko enclosure at a time and let them hunt. Usually I’ll see them get one once in a while which is how I know they’re interested. If there starts to become a build up of crickets that are left (either dead or alive) I know they aren’t eating as much as I feed them or none at all. With dubias you can feed them in a dish that they can’t get out of or else they’ll just bury themselves in the substrate. Hope this helps!

    What heat bulb do you use for over night and do you need uvb at least 8 hours a day?

    • @RedsFaunaverse
      @RedsFaunaverse  Рік тому

      I turn off all heat and lights at night as my reptile room stays around 70f-75f and yes UVB should be on for at least 10 hours I’d say.

      I was worried about that which is why I mentioned a 5 gallon may work well for a smaller group like a trio. That’s one reason why I’m starting small and gunna go up after this size to something a bit bigger to see how they do.
