[arowana man]

i have two crested geckos. one is eating well, and the other is skin and bones. i feed dusted crickes evey night. what can i do to get her to eat. i have trouble keeping the humidity up past 40%. the temp is always 80 and 75 degrees at night. is this whats wrong. any help is needed

What were they eating at the pet store or where ever you bought them? Perhaps they were fed a prepared diet and not live food. As for humidity, I believe they need it somewhere between 70-80%. What is your substrate? Do you spray the tank twice a day? Do you keep them in an aquarium or an open screen reptile cage?

Keep it 75 constant. If I was you I would slowly ween them of crickets and switch them to CGD (Crested Gecko Diet). It is made by a company called T-rex.

Oh and to get He/she to eat the cricks, Put them in a jar, big enough for the crestie to move around a bit. He/she will immediately see the crixks and go haywire. This is a way you can monitor foo intake.

If I was you I would mist 3+ times a day.

they were being fed this nasty looking soft baby food stuff. lol. i will try the bottle idea. i also mist 3x a day. the substrate is jungle bedding. i looks like mulch. i might pic up some peat moss at my work tomarrow. i have some pillow moss in there as well, however its not growing.

heres the cage they're in

 

[Tylervsmith]

You need much more foliage... Nomally a craft store will carry some Fake Vines, clean those and then wrap that around the bendy vine, they will feel more secure.


The stuff you should feed them is this stuff...<<DOWN THERE IN THE PICS>>

ypu thats that stukk i saw in there cage at the store.

Its what they need. They do look very skinny, both of them. The CGD is suprisingly cheap and lasts a while. You wont regret using it, it needs no supplements.
