When should I be able to put baby house geckos in with the adults and sub-adults without risk of being injured? Do you think the adults would turn cannibilistic and eat them or would they be fine? I absolutely hate the container the babies have to stay in and I'm absolutely **** broke and can't afford even a bigger click clack T_T Damn horse.
 
Get stuffed. Have some god damn consideration will you?
 
horsy, they should be fine. i have kept AHG in large tubs to breed. and teh big ones have never eaten the little ones before. put the smaller ones in with the big ones and just keep an eye on them, most of the time they will find a stick, or bark or whatever there is available and just take cover. they are generally not canniblistic.
 
i'm not sure they will hurt them, but it might be better to wait for them to grow a bit first, but i've never had them
 
I have considered that you are breeding a pest animal that is a danger to native wildlife, these geckos do enough damage through their unchecked breeding on their own without any help.
 
hey, leave her alone, shes allowed to keep ahg, every1 has their preferences, you wouldnt like it if someone told you to take a shovel to your snakes would you?

So I have one person telling me to put them in with the adults and another telling me not to.
I don't think the adults would hurt the babies at all as they are very friendly and welcoming but I've never had baby AHGs so I wouldn't know for sure. I mean there are tons of AHGs in the wild of all sizes and they don't seem scarce..
 
Yeah I am breeding them, big deal. I don't breed them just to let them go do I? And besides, they are thriving here so even if one escaped, it wouldn't make a difference. I keep a very close watch on all of them when handling them or opening the top of the enclosure. I know how to look after them and they are very tame, never try to escape or run away. So keep your idiotic comments to yourself.

Thank you Hornet < 3

like i said. i have kept them before. just for somthing to do.. and i have had all sorts of sizes together, they dont bother each other in the least. they will be fine.
 
okay thanks a bunch Mel :D I will put them in with the adults. I just feel so much better about their happiness and wellbeing in the bigger enclosure.

just check on them everynow and then, but they arnt the sort of specie to eat each other. just make sure the littler ones feed as well, since the big ones mite be gutses.
 
Yeah. Well I feed the babies pinhead crickets and I doubt the adults would want to eat those. Might take them out to feed them just to be sure.
 
yeh horsy, go with melgalea as i've never kept them and was just saying what i would do, but as mel has kept them go with her answer,
 
Okay I shall. Thanks a bunch guys.

How's arbok going? :D
