I just say an add that said they had healthy lineatus that where eating crickets and baby food. I remember seeing something on baby food in a post here but I could not find it. I have never used baby food with my Uroplatus geckos I use it mixed with CGD on my cresteds but not the Uroplatus. Do any of you use it and if so what kind and how much per what kind of gecko?

Thanks!

Mike

well, i can say for one that i have tried it with satanics in the past, with them showing disgust for it for the most part. i tried dabbing it on their noses, they would lick a little then rub the rest off once they tasted it. dont know about any other species though.

my female henkels will eat it out of a dish(fruit medley baby food) but i usually give it to her with a dropper. the male will take a little bit of it and my female sikorae will take a little bit, but my female henkels is almost as eager as a day gecko. i always mix calcium in it too, thats probably why she likes it so much.

I've given turkey baby food to my female henkeli when I first got her and she wasn't eating. She really loves it! I don't give it to her now unless I think she needs some extra calcium. Then I mix the baby food with a lot of calcium and vitamins and I feed it to her on a spoon.
