i was going to try the crested gecko diet from sandfire dragon ranch and wasnt sure which one i should but..they have it in 2.5 lbs and 1.75 ounces...i only have one crested gecko..i wasnt sure how long it lasted so was hoping for some input

it also says that feeding insects is not required on the crested gecko diet..is that true???
Thanks Jason

I would try the little bottle. It's lasts for awhile. I feed 3 aurics and 18 rhacs and the big jugs last me a long time.

I would recommend using the CG diet if you have an adult rhac. I know a lot of people are using the Gargyole diet because of more protein, but more isn't always better. I do feed my babies the garg. diet. But I know that Allen Repashy feeds his cresteds the CG diet exclusively and they do just fine.

Just mix it with water - it works great.

dislectics off tha wrold untie!!

With 1 crested the small bottle willl probally do you just fine .

It is true you can feed your crested the diet with no insects. However they grow faster with crickets on occasion .(Not a big consideration unless your breeding them) More to the point though is its a great deal of fun to watch them hunting and chasing crikets .Its also a good oportunity to give them a little extra calcium just to be sure(dusted crickets).This would be more of a consideration if your mixing babyfood into the CGD which delutes the otherwise complete diet.

I used the small bottle for when I had a single crested gecko. It last me about 5 months give or take. Once the bottle is open it is recommended you use up the bottle in 6 months as it's freshness fails by then. Refrigeration helps it last longer as well.

thanks for all the help
