I just recently got a Crested Gecko and thus far I have not been able to get him to eat CGD, baby banana, apricot, or peach food. Its been about 3 days since I got him, should I be concerned yet or could he still be settling in?
 
have you tried crickets? Sometimes they just don't go for the prepared foods as much as you want them to. You tried using real liquidised real fruit, and mixing it with CGD and water?
 
Yeah, the crickets were a hit, i'd just like to get him on more than that. The CGD would be the best for him. I havent tried the liquidized fruit and CGD/water yet. Thats the next thing to try
 
Dude, alot of the time you dont know whether or not they are eating it, because they "lick" up a very small amount of it at a time. My crestie eats small amounts of GCD at a time, but he LOVES bannana gerber baby food. Also, they are nocturnal so he may be easting without you being aware.

Anyways, a good idea is to feed GCD, baby food, and once a week crickets.

thanks for your input, I got rid of a pair of Leopards to get this guy and I just dont want to screw anything up with him.

of COURSE you would have man... lol

I agree though that leos are nice... They remind me of blue tongue skinks. But I still prefer cresties.

I find leos too flighty for me... maybe they hate me? Anyway, I like arboreal geckos. :p :D
