Re: >.< My Cresties!

ok first off...the trex diet has every thing they need, an awesome product! Don't add any supplements.Too much D3 can be bad...the diet is formulated perfectly.

To get them onto the food try mix with banana(their favorite) baby food and leave it in the cage, put it in a small bottle top or what ever. Just stop giving crickets and monitor their weight. Gradually lessen the ratio of the banana baby food. It helps to put the "liquid" diet against a wall or branch so they can climb head first to it.

good luck! The trex diet is the healthiest way to go for your cresteds

oh and welcome! never seen yo on here before!

put the food bowl on the floor but against a branch so they can climb down to eat out of it

Re: >.< My Cresties!

Can get the little holder from Pangea reptile. Or go to the dollar store and get some cheap plastic spoons and heat the neck so you can bend it to make and elevated feed platform. or where you can bend it and then attach it to a branch.

Another diet you can try is Crested gecko diet. Pangea reptile has it too. All sorts of flavors. It is great. just mix water and good.

The crested gecko diet is the same diet as she has..they just renamed it Repashy Superfoods beacuse Alan Repashy designed the food. It is still made by T-rex products.
