    My crested gecko will rarely eat bugs. He likes to follow them around the enclosure and lick them. I think they end up dying from stress. I probably would if a huge dragon was stalking me and every time I tried to take a breath it licked me to get me running again.

    I handfeed my baby crestie just so i know he is eating. I was worried abt him not eating by himself as an adult but now that u said that i have no doubts. Thanks lol

    • @reptiliangarden
      @reptiliangarden  3 года назад +12

    I got my juvenile 2months ago and I found he likes insects more than his Pangea but he will eat it. Whenever I notice he hasn’t eaten his diet I will add a small piece of fruit and mash it up in his Pangea for one feeding so he can smell it more and he loves it! He definitely is more interested when there is a good smell to the food.

    This was a great video. I work in a pet store and I cannot tell you the number of times that I have people come in and some other pet store has told them the wrong information for an animal or they told them just the basic information. I feel like reptiles are the #1 animal sold in pet stores that don’t get treated properly, I try hard to make for sure that people who come into my store leave with a better understanding of how to care properly for their reptile. And I always reference your videos for people to go do research on their own too! So thank you for these videos!

    • @reptiliangarden

    This was great to watch! Always nice to know you're doing things correctly, I didn't realize you could feed less than daily as well! I rotate Rapashy/insects every other day at the moment. I rescued two cresties this month, they were cohabbed in a 10 gallon that smelled positively foul, one is a full grown adult and the other is still a baby, (no idea on ages, they were bought from Petco and didn't have any basics like names, food bowls, ect 😢) I luckily had an exoterra available to move the bigger one into and now they're both thriving and becoming so much more friendly and handleable! These guys are NOT hard to care for, but they do require care!

You remind me much of my friend Bridgette. Really enjoyed the Video. No obnoxious music, just clear and concise.

    I had a baby crestie I ordered from morph market and it was hesitant to eat for the first 10 days or so. I've started adding a drop of honey to its pangea and repashy and it's eating well now. I think this is supposed to help with growth too

  • @greenspirit4229
    @greenspirit4229 Год назад

    Hello, thank you for such an informative video! I have been doing a ton of research and prep work before getting our first crested gecko. I have set up a bioactive enclosure, purchased reptisafe, repashy ,and will be picking up some supplements today. I want to make sure we are ready when we bring our little guy home. I have one quick question, I have seen that a lot of people on youtube breed insects for their multiple reptiles. Their setups tend to be large to accommodate so many reptiles, but since we are only keeping one pet crested gecko it seems like maybe this a bad choice? Can you please advise? Should I try to breed my own insects, is it necessary or cost effective for only one reptile?

    Have you ever experienced an asexually hatched crestie? I, as of yesterday, have come across an amazing surprise lmao I got my crestie back in April of last year, who was housed on her own from hatch, and has never came into contact with another gecko. As of 7 o clock yesterday, what I assumed was a really fat egg, turned out to be an actual fertilized egg (?) Which is, rather insane.

    My baby crestie pooped right on the ledge next to the food cup. I think it pooped and ate at the same time LOL (I cleaned it up right away dw)

    i can't believe my petco sells them, but then doesn't sell the proper food ??? i was just given a young adult crestie by a friend of mine who couldn't care for him and i was scrambling to find food. had to order online... still infuriating how petco sells the animal but not the proper food

    I rotate my little guy between Repashy Mango and Pangea Watermelon; I don't feed specific feeder insects, but he loves hunting the cleanup crew in his bioactive setup 😅🤣 Knowing that, I feed the cleanup crew some of the Repashy isopod and gutloading formulas a couple times a week; I don't worry about the lack of dusting as the isopods have a good Ca:P ratio unlike crickets and other common feeder insects

    Would you still give calcium with D3 if they are eating Pangea?

    My baby gecko is such a picky eater. We tried to feed him crickets and he just doesn’t want them.

      We also feed him by hand.
