Good to hear he's doing alright, :D
As Olstyn said, pinkies aren't normally part of their diet, and probably shouldn't be continued. I say this because cresties aren't generally fed mealworms because sometimes if they are fed ones about to shed it can be too hard for them to digest, I can only imagine the bones of a pinky mouse would be pretty hard too.

The CGD can be mixed with 50/50 apple sauce or baby food or whataver you prefer to get them to eat it at first, it's better than just baby food. This should be just to get the to get use to the taste though and the normal water should phase out the baby food. (Though if you like mixing the baby food there is just the Base part out there, with no flavoring, which has directions on it for mixing with baby food or fruit, you can order it online from Repashy Superfoods suppliers if you like that idea.)

My only thing about freezing is that crested geckos can survive and much cooler temperatures than most snakes, so I'm not entirely sure that they would go to sleep. Another thing is the sudden cold surface you put them on can't be too pleasant, unless you put them in something semi insulated and let is cool down slowly. Also, whatever dog you saw must have had an adverse reaction, since that doesn't normally happen (and I'm not just saying it, my friend is a vet tech, she does it a lot.)
