Dragon Eyes May 21, 2003 10:18 PM

ok, heres the deal. i'm sure everyone feeds their crested baby food, but does anyone feed other geckos baby food? after feeding my crested baby food, i gave some to my pictus females, they seem to like it, i also gave some to all my leopards, they didnt know what to think of it i guess. is it bad for them, is it ok, or what? does anyone have suggestions? does anyone else do this too?
thanks

I mean we feed our gec's carrots when we gut load crickets. That is our idea of what a gecko should eat.
I would think that a gecko has a much better idea of its needs than we do. I think you had a great idea.
Of course if they drop over dead.............I'll need some sort of a disclaimer :>

I feed my Madagascar GDG baby food all the time. I found a recipe in a gecko care book that mixes honey, baby food, liquid vitamins and calcium, and I feed him this occasionally. He likes it pretty well, though definitely prefers the crickets and fruit flies! I have, in a pinch, put freeze dried crickets and mealies in the baby food mix, and he eats them right up this way (wouldn't touch freeze dried otherwise).
