Crested Gecko Diet From pet store

[BabyCrestie]

When i get my new crested gecko can i feed it the crested gecko diet from the pet store?

[Kayla]

I do. I feed the Repashy kind and it works great, both my babies eat it even the one that didn't start off on it does. I mix it with 3 times the water and it work perfect and lasts about 2 or 3 days.

As long as it's the T.Rex/Repashy/Sandfire SuperFoods, you're SET!!

But adding 3 times the water is going to dilute the nutrients.

Stick with the original recipe.

If it's a baby, use 1/4 a teaspoon of the diet and 1/2 teaspoon of water.  You can leave the food in the tank a few nights.  Most geckos like it better the second or third night, when it's a but fermented.

Remember-in the wild, they eat over-ripe fruit that's fallen from trees, so it's pretty icky when they eat it.

Well I learned something new. It didn't seem to mix as well with only 1/2, I ended up with powder globs. But I'll try it again.

[samanthajane13]

Yeah-you want twice as much water as powder.

Kind of syrupy...

I get powder globs too, just keep mixing until it is smooth. Mine comes out like a smoothie consistency.

Also using hot water when you mix it helps a ton to not get globs.
