Question

My new baby crested gecko doesnt seem to be eating the cgt or crickets. what can i do?

Answer 1

Feed it baby food.  they eat it up.

Answer 2

keep offering crickets, and the powdered diet that you mix with water (I'm not sure what cgt is!) you can try feeding it baby food, and provide some fresh veggies, just make sure you cut up small enough bites!

Answer 3

put baby food or cgd on there nose  and they will l**k it off if you are feeding crickets just let them run lose it your geckos tank and he will eventually eat them and make sure they are a reasonable size for your gecko MAKE SURE THERE NOT TOO BIGGGG

Answer 4

Cresties eat such tiny amounts of cgd (crested gecko diet) that it's not always easy to tell if they've had any or not. Try mixing it with fresh fruit purée and honey and dabbing it onto their nose to encourage them to l**k, at least you know they've eaten what you give them till you're sure they're doing it themselves.

Crickets you offer then should be no bigger than the space between their eyes. Persevere offering them, taking out uneaten ones nightly. If your baby is very young they may just not have acquired the hunting instinct yet, my babies took till they were several months old, but once they caught on they love hunting them!

Good luck, and enjoy your baby!
