Just introduce the food far enough into its mouth that it can get a good grip, then let go. Don’t try to force the food into your gecko’s mouth.It may take some persistence, but your gecko should open up if you stroke the side of its mouth long enough.X Research source Sit on the floor or hold your gecko just above the surface of a table while you feed it. Take care not to hold your lizard too high above any surface, since it could be seriously injured if gets away from you and falls.You can then put the food in the gecko’s mouth. Use your dominant hand to grab the feeder insect or other food item with your tongs, then use the pinky finger on that hand to stroke your gecko’s cheek until it opens its mouth. Pick up the gecko gently in your non-dominant hand and hold on with only enough force to keep it from escaping. If your gecko is refusing to eat, doesn’t like the food you are offering (e.g., insects dusted with vitamin supplements), or needs medication, you may need to do an assist feeding.
