there was a cricket in my gecko's cage and now its gone... there is a cricket chirping sound from inside the cage at night... I took everything out of the cage to look for the cricket, its no where to be found... is it possible my gecko swallowed the cricket whole and now its chirping?
Its been 2 days now... when will this cricket die or will it eat its way out of my gecko??

No way it could chirp inside a stomach. You have a sneaky cricket, that's all. Have fun trying to find the little pest!

Do you keep your crickets near to the terrarium? Crickets cannot chirp from inside a gecko, because when a gecko eats a cricket, it sort of...squishes it in a sort of munching way. Also, the stomach acid kills the cricket if it is still the tiniest bit alive. You probably have a cricket hiding somewhere...that happenED a lot to me, because I feed my gecko the crickets. Yes, the cricket is hiding somewhere nearby...

Geckos chew their food before swallowing so there is no chance that the cricket is alive inside it chirping. Most likely another cricket is still in the cage. Check all your decorations. Crickets love to hide out in cracks and crevices in rocks and pieces of wood.

cricket is a land animal and once a land animal put or enter the aquatic area or inside the gecko there is no possibility for the cricket to chirp or live inside the body of gecko. may be the cricket is not inside the gecko's body but it just somewhere outside the cage od there is another cricket living there.

Put some veggies and lettuce in there for the cricket to find. It can stress your gecko, and believe it or not, bite it, too, like mosquitoes do to us--annoying but not killing. Hopefully it will come out for the food, be seen and really end up in your gecko.

No. A cricket chirps by rubbing its legs together,Kind of hard inside a stomach.Also the stomach acid would kill the cricket in a short time.

No, the stomach acid from the Leo would kill the cricket very quickly. You have a cricket hiding from you somewhere!

The crickets you should be feeding are pretty low in heartiness. They should die pretty easily and infestation would not be an issue but they really need to take better care in not letting them get in the walls again.
