What can I feed an eyelash crested gecko?

Question

I have an eyelash crested gecko. Ive had it for a while. Does anyone know if I can feed him/her human food such as a little bit of pizza, steak, banna, etc.? Also I feed him/her baby food and I mix it with the special calcium dust, but I don't dust the crickets, should I start dusting the crickets? Also how do you tell what gender he/she is?

Thanks

Answer 1

If you feed it pizza... You better lock all your windows. Steak? no... Bananas... Yes, but in small amounts as they are high in phosphorous.

Take it off baby food. Use the sand-fire dragon ranch crested food. Dust the crickets. You should be dusting 5 times a week w/ pure calcium, 1 time a week with calcium and D3 and 1 time a week w/ reptile vitamins.

Answer 3

the only ''human'' food a crestie can eat is baby food or fruit. no citrus fruit but mushed up mango or peach is good, then mix in a little calcium or nutrobal. And yes you need to dust the crickets. But it's easier to just feed it on ''crested gecko diet'' which you can get online or in some pet shops, you just mix it up with water and your ready to go, but as your crestie has been on baby food you may need to mix a bit of that in with the CGD too to wean the gecko off the baby food.

And to tell tell gender you look underneath the tail around the vent, but you can't usually tell unless the gecko is over around 8 months old, you can usually find pictures online of what each s*x is supposed to look like.
