Crested Gecko

[MrsWTownsend]

These are really cute! My

is don't mix baby food with your CGD or use baby food at all, at is is known to be an unhealthy diet for Cresties (you will find a lot of "old school" literature talking about baby food but it is just that~ old school and severely out dated). You shouldn't have to mix anything with the CGD, as is it a Complete Gecko Diet.

You can offer insects~ my Cresties like crickets, they tend go for the insects that move around a lot (generally not foods like meal worms or silkies) and/or fresh fruit purees as a treat. You could also carve anther foam piece and elevate the CGD like you did the water dish (I use the magnetic dishes in mine and like them a lot; they are pretty much the same in concept). Your set up looks good!

I use fine cut coconut mulch for substrate in my geckos tanks if you are interested in that bit of info. It doesn't really make a difference for spot cleaning, since Cresties crap all over the place indiscriminately but it looks nice.

Thanks for that bit of info.. I believe at the petstore they only offered them the baby food mixed with water.. I am working on getting Sushi away from the baby food.. She seems to want the baby food over the CGD.. She ate from a spoon last night.. I offered her more CGD mixed with very little baby food.. I tried CGD alone first.. She didnt take to it.. I mixed alittle baby food.. Very little... She took to it.. i am going to work on getting her away from the baby ASAP.. Thanks again for the advice..
