Some Ciliatus questions....

Josh06 Jun 14, 2004 06:28 AM

Hey everyone, I have a few questions on crested geckos. Can they be fed only the crested gecko diet? And if not, can they eat mealworms instead of crix? And this is the last question, what flavors of babyfood are best for them??
Thanks!!

Crested Gecko diet is not the only way to feed them .A great many people raised them on babyfood and dusted crickets prior to CGD .Many owners today use a variety of feeding plans including mixing CGD into babyfood.

Babyfood flavors include apricot, peaches ,pears and bananas

As for other insects I have heard and would imagine that many insects will be eaten by cresteds .I myself prefer to not take a chance with thier well being and stick with crickets because if professional breeders find them to be the best ,Ill go with thier experence.

I know it's not the only way to feed them. I wanna know if you can feed them only the crested gecko diet? Thanks for the help.

Josh, yes you can raise your rhacs on the T-Rex diet. that's all I use, hombre - and it works great. No muss - no fuss - they are all chowing down on it.

They eat it or die - and no one has croaked yet.

You don't even have to mix it with baby food. Just mix it up like they say, and you will be aces.

I fed my rhacs mealies too - but I asked myself - why? They are doing great on CG diet. So that's what I'm giong with.
