CRESTED GECKO?

WHAT SHOULD I FEED HIM??
wHATS THE BEST TO FEED HIM??
Answers:
Cresties will typically eat fruit and insects in the wild. You can feed them crickets and soft fruit such as banana or the different fruits from baby food jars.
A much better diet choice, however, is a product called CGD or Crested Gecko Diet. It comes in powder form and when mixed with water will supply all required nutrients. You can purchase small bottles at most reptile supplied pet stores or get larger bags online.
Crested geckos usually do best on a diet that is mostly crickets an occasionally some meal worms and wax worms. You'll want to feed only live food as geckos will ignore food that isn't moving.
Bring the crickets home, put them in a separate cage, and feed them slices of orange. They will get both food and liquid from the orange and will take in the calcium which will give your gecko a boost also.
Don't listen to the person who says crickets and mealworms! Mealworms WILL kill your gecko. He is thinking LEOPARD geckos.
Here is what cresties eat: primarily fruit! You can purchase a crested gecko diet at any pet store and mix it with water. They will also eat some crickets that must be dusted with calcium, butI would not make that their entire diet. And you can sometimes add sugarless babyfood with calcium as a treat. No mealworms! They're too hard
Baby foods no citrus
