Just a general update and questionaire for crestie owners..
Well so far Buck seems to have settled in nicely, he doesnt run away from me when i open the enclosure and go to handle him, he's inquisitive and a jumps really well even if his aim is off sometimes :P
My questions were though - if you offer repashy diet, how do you know if your gecko is eating it?
I havnt viewed him eating, but he seems to be toileting fine.
Also how often do you change the food?, im getting mixed views of 1-3 days.
Thanks. |

If they are pooping, they are eating, or you can make it really thick, put fork lines through it, you will see the lick marks
i leave it 48 hrs |

That sounds like he's doing great  I'm so pleased for you. It's really useful to me having lots of people on here getting crested geckos as I'm getting one in two weeks time, they're asking all the questions so I can find out the answers  |

I meant that to come across as slightly joking. Sorry if it came across differently.
I am really pleased that Buckley is doing so well. I'm glad he's settling in and it sounds like he'll be really happy with you |

Glad to hear Buckley has settled well
I put only a thin layer of food in my dish - this allows me to see the licked areas.
I have also found that Ludo prefers his clarks diet over repashy and that he prefers the fig and banana clarks mixed together. |

It took Fudge a few times to get interested in the crickets, personally i will never have crickets again the way they escape, seriously dubia roaches are soooooo better, dont bite, escape or jump
But well done on trying if you dont like bugs, i was the same and weirdly it was the roaches that freaked me more than the crickets lol now i have have adults since Fudge has gone off them just now, and they have now became pets that i am kinda fond of |

Tried him again today, he just isnt into them. But im not to fussed, i know they can live soley on powder diet, but i was hoping as he is still a baby, to bulk him up he'd take the buggies :/
I think i'll leave him a bit thanks though SBB
He's 3 months old today :D
Will get some more pics soon MJ :) |
