ditch the baby food completely, it's an outdated method and will only cause your geckos health problems, as it is especially difficult for a beginner to obtain the proper balances of vitamins and minerals. just give them straight CGD, mixed with water only. they won't starve themselves. it can take a few weeks for them to settle in and eat regularly anyway. until they are eating this, skip the crickets. once they are eating the CGD well, you may add a few gutloaded, calcium dusted crickets ONCE a week. since there is already D3 in the CGD and geckos can overdose on it, get PURE calcium (no D3), that's the rep cal in the green jar, not pink. there are also other brands available, or you can use leopard gecko ICB or CGD to dust with occasionally. feed them CGD 3 times a week, and leave the CGD in for 2 nights, just remoisten if it dries out.



your adult gecko is going to need a 20 gallon tank, and you could move the juvie up to the 10 gallon. since it looks like you have the room, you may also try standing the tanks on end so they are vertically oriented. create a humidity cycle by misting (with reverse osmosis water to avoid spots on the glass) in the evening and letting the tanks dry out during the next day. it should peak at about 80-90% and drop back down to around 50%. they should also have a water dish filled with either fresh filtered/treated tap or bottled spring water at all times.
