CGD for Gargoyles?

DragonChuck Aug 06, 2003 07:22 AM

Just wanted to know if I can feed the Crested Gecko Diet to Gargoyle Geckos or do I use the auriculatus Diet? I also have the leachies diet that I feed to my pair of Nuu Ana and they love it. My crested geckos some of them like the CGD but I just started to give it to them. How much do you give them? I been giving them 1- 1/2 TSP 2.5 ml with 2- parts water on Tuesday and Thursday.

Thanks for the help
Chuck

The differences between the diets using CGD as the standard. The Gargoyle Gecko Diet has more protien. The label reads Min. 30% but Allen has told me it is close to 50% (much more than a cricket by dry wieght). The Leachie diet has more fiber added in the form of fig powder. This helps create firmer stools. The protien content is about the same as the CGD. If your Leachies are still young, you can feed them the Gargoyle diet to give the needed protien for growing. You can use it on any growing Rhac for that matter.
Good Luck,

Hey Bill
How are you doing? Hope all good.
I have the CGD and the leachies diet. I just wanted to know if I could use any of them on my Gargoyles because I don't have any Gargoyle diet. I should order some to try it. My Leachies love the leachies diet and my Crested Geckos I just started to give them the CGD and they are getting use to it.

I'm doing good, just swamped with lizards. I wish the white plains show was every month. I'm assuming you are charlie. You can order the gargoyle diet for a good price at lllreptile. you save more if you order 6 bottles.
