really likes crickets

chaosfactor May 01, 2005 03:37 PM

so a couple of months ago i got my first (and only) crestie. i've tried different foods and have reciently been giving him fresh mangos that i peel and put in my blender. while blending i add CGD, to help fortify it. i think he eats it, but like the babey food i can really never tell. i usually give him alot. i also give him cal. dusted crickets which he just freaks over. though i like seeing him enjoy his crickets i worry that mabey he's not getting a properly balanced diet. is there any whay i can be sure?.....

They just don't eat mass quantities. Some tricks I've used with new additions who hadn't been started on the CGD is dust the crix with the CGD, or mix the CGD with the Bolthouse Farms fruit juices such as Berry Boost or Strawberry Banana. I've gotten the most stubborn little cresties literally gobbling it up this way.
