Okay, I have 3 baby cresties (Moose, Kreecher, Lilly) that are about the size of my pinkie finger from tip to vent. How long will it be before I start noticing growth? They each get 4-5 crickets a night dusted with Miner All - I (still no luck with CGD or babyfood though).

Thanks for all your info!

Crested geckos grow fast and almost double their size in a month, esp in the beginning. Are they only eating the 4-5 crix a night or is that all you are offering? Reason I ask is you usually can not give the young ones enough food. I sometimes even feed them twice a day up to 10 crix at a time (1/4”). However it could just be you are offering larger crix .

I am putting 4-5 crickets in their bowl a night. Most of the time they don't even finish those. The temperature and humidity are right. Right now they are in x-large critter keepers with no substrate. Should I stop putting the crickets in the bowls and just put them in their cages? I am really worried they aren't eating enough. They are pooping though, and their stools look normal.

Thanks again Mike!!

Yeah just throw them in the cage, I only use bowls with the adults. Best of Luck.
