Nourishment questions

[Istvan]

Hello!

I´ve got a question about feeding my Cresties.
I got my male and female geckoes as age 3 and 5 months. Now they are both healthy adults.

I´ve always fed them with one or two crickets every other day and there is always T-Rex M.R.P mixed with babyfood available.

After posting this information, some people recommended me to just feed them with M.R.P mixed with water.
I´ve tried to change their diet, but they won´t eat. They just won´t eat and now it´s week two without eating anything.

I don´t know, what are you guys recomending me? Like I said, when I changed their diet to just M.R.P+Water they didn't eat it. Only when it´s mixed with Babyfood (Fruit).

I figured, after two weeks, it´s better if they eat Crickets+Calciumpowder and M.R.P.+babyfood then nothing at all.
What do you say about this conclusion?

Oh, and one more thing.
The T-Rex´s M.R.P has expired! Can I give them it anyway?
It´s still smells fresh (smells the same when I opened it) and I always Keep it in the fridge. It´s a little hard to get the powder here in Sweden.

Thanks in Advance!

well try weaning them off it... they are probably "addicted" to the baby food.... so just give them less and less baby food until its just water and the powder... well thats what i would do.

I would have kept feeding it without baby food.  They were probably very close to switching over, it usually takes around 2-3 weeks.

If the cgd has expired then you probably have the old stuff.  Try getting a new bag, it has a rose smell to it.  Smells better than the old stuff.

I´ve tried that.
When the babyfood level comes under a level of mixture they won´t eat it.
That´s the problem..

ok well try getting some new cgd and just feeding them straight that... they will eat it if they are hungry enough eventually

It will eventually work... Just keep at it.
