i am so happy. as sum of you may now i have had trouble over the last year with my baby boy, luna, with eating. he has always struggled with liking the crested gecko diet and has been a very slow grower over the year. i got him in september at doncaster and he was about 5 grams. ever since then he has been a very slow grower. he was healthy not shwoing any signs of being unedrweight or skinny or anything but has been slow at growing. i thought it was going to take forever but finally we have reached 10 grams. i am so happy for this. i am just overwhelmed and brings a tear to my eye as at one point he was very underweight and was knocking at deaths door with me having to hand feed. it has been a bummpy ride over the year but finally all my hard work has payed off.  i just cannot stop smiling. sorry for ranting on with excitment but i am just so happy and no one else would understand. the next mile stone is 15 grams then 25 grams. heres to the future. at the moment he sat on the side of the sofa stalking the book case (his fav thing) i wish i had something i could give him as a reward but there is nothing i can, ahh, i now, he can get fruit for dinner, he loves his fruit |

That's really good news. I'm so pleased for you. Cresties are lovely little characters. Echo has a bamboo cane that is her favourite place.  Glad all your hard work has paid off.  |

Danny, that is fantastic news. You really have shown how much you love your little Luna with the hard work you have put in getting her up to 10g, when other owners may have just given in....I am so proud of you !!
It must be such a relief to you and must make you feel as though you are finally getting somewhere and that her life is safe....you no longer have to worry about waking up and her having passed away cos of her not feeding.
It is lovely hearing your excitement (should really say seeing it....but I can almost hear you bubbling over as you type )....and it is no surprise.
So, well done Luna and well done you!
