can a baby go without shedding before i should worry? I have 2 babies that hatched on jume 3, and 4 and neither has shed or had any crickets yet, i give them little bits of baby food, but they really don't seem to be eating, they are both the mother's and father's frist cluth, so i am a little worried, they both seem alert and active and each has it's own ventilated shoebox tub that they run all over in. any advice?

I wouldn't worry about them. It's almost impossible to see a crested gecko shed as they eat their old skin. I'm sure they've shed for you, but you missed it. I have two hatchlings born on May 8th, and I've never seen them shed. You should definitely be feeding them crickets or Crested Gecko Diet though, as they need the protein for proper growth. Hope this helps. Good luck!
