You might find this post on Kingsnake.com 'old' Leopard Gecko Forum interesting: http://forum.kingsnake.com/lgecko/messages/62353.html I've fed fruit to my leos many times, and find the females will eat it quite readily. They might not recognize it at first, but once they get to lick some off my fingers they like it. Once or twice a month I'll offer them some of the fruit mixture I feed the Rhacodactylus, and I've also had a few of them eat a bit of crested gecko diet too. Any fruit or non-insect foods I offer are just as treats or extras if they want it, their main food is still insects. Females seem more inclined to experiment with new foods than males, and during breeding season they are even more likely to taste something different. They'll also eat strawberry or peach yogurt which I offer them once a week or so during breeding season. Hilde -- ~*~*~*~*~*~ Another year ends. All targets met. All systems working.
