thaw in warm water though most leos won't eat pinkies that are not live. Oh, and I have no verified proof but tell the pet store to quit blowing wind up peoples behind. Meal worms are safe unless one ate through from the outside and the leo was dead for a while because they don't pay enouph attention to their stock.

:ok so i got 3 frozen pinkies for the crew....questions!

:1. they seem big for my guys, but all my guys are over 3 yrs old (except 2, one of which has had pinkies before)...can they still get around them?

:2. i take it you defrost the pinkies before you feed them...how do you do this?

:3. the petstore told me that when you feed gex pinkies for the first time they should be live....true or false?

:4. also, anyone have proof that mealies CANNOT eat their way out of a geckoes stomach? I've got a bone to pick with my petstore who still believes that this myth is true and believes that he has seen it happen.

:5. any other suggestions on how to feed these pinkies to the guys?

:
:thanks!
