I would like to know best way to keep them, like how to feed and what to keep them in.

Any comments would be appreciated. Hope you can help??

I dont think they should have many meal worms because they are high in fat.

Put all your peelings and offcuts into the tub with them, such as carrot and apple etc. They will eat this which in turn feeds the geckos.
