Feeding CGD...

[GroovyLou]

Can anyone tell me the proper feeding method when using crested gecko diet?.i just picked up a a really nice crested lastnight and i guess shes in the process of geting well adapted, so just to make her comfortable i put a small amount of cgd in the dish. How often should i feed, shes not a baby but im not to sure how old she is. if i had to guess id say maybe juvie or subadult, i say that cuz the tank that she was in had only one other crested and it was a male(it had the bulge under the tale)., which led me to beleive the one i got was female. they were both arond the same size, usally how old are male crested when that buldge developes?
well anyone using CGD only can feel free to help me out
Thanx
ohh ill try to get some pics up as asap

What are you mixing the CGD with? I use fruit flavored baby food, and mix in enough CGD to make a thick paste. Mine seem to like peach and pear flavored baby food, but as it has a lot of sugar in it, you want a thick paste to get plenty of vitamins in the mix. At least once or twice a week I use dusted crickets to allow the geckos to practice their hunting skills.

From what I understand you should not use any babyfood. At least that's what people on the CG forum advocate. I still use use it (because I still have some) like tunachris dose, but I mix in some reptile vitamins (partly because I have them too). I also feed dusted crickets. Then again I am rather new to crested geckos. I'm back into reptiles after a break.
