I have a few questions. When do they start eating and should I start with baby food or crickets? Is room temp like 75F good for newborns?
Also is the color they were born with the color they will be as adults or can it change like bearded dragons can. Right now he is brown and is from 2 yellow parents. He must be the mailmans.

At this point, it is hard to say what the color of your gecko will be. Mine all start out red, and whitin a few days, they start to show their true colors. Crested gecko's change color all of the time. My females produce all sorts of colors and patterens. You never know what they will produce. You should start offering baby food now and crickets in a couple of days. Make sure that fresh water is always available.
