I feed the fruit puree ones to my day geckos they love it but that doesn't really help. They do taste nice though, the fruit puree not the gexs.

hmm i dunno, personally i think we only feed them baby food because it is an easier way of getting pureed fruits, in the wild they eat rotten fruits, insects etc so i dunno wether we should give them veggie baby food simply because it is baby food yaknow? i dunno if im making any sense, i hate typing lol.
i wouldnt put it anywhere near mine personally. sorry if i make no sense atall jojo its too early for me to be alive on a sunday morning.

Thanks for the replies (lol @ Rick Rolling Eyes

heh)

I do know what you mean Ben lol Laughing

They wouldnt find veggies in the wild so should just stick to whats natural..
But I was thinking if there was rotting veg available then they would probably have a go at that too right?? Confused

I think the fruit baby foods are too sweet for them. I haven't tasted the CGD lol but it doesnt smell sweet and they love it!

Shelby I've tried quite alot of different fruit babyfoods and many of them get the same response. I've tried feeding mashed banana and even Biscuit turned her nose up at it lol
I dont particularly want to feed them banana anyway bcoz its got that phosphurus or something like that in it that is apparently not good for them..

I might try em on some mushy cooked carrot.. If the crickets eat carrots and then the geckos eat the crickets surely that means that carrots are ok to feed them?? *JoJo Logic* lol

lol
She was loving the mushy carrot lol.. Obviously Spud didn't like it Rolling Eyes

She did have a few licks of it though.. might leave it in over night...
If anyone knows whether carrot is bad for them or not then now would be a good time to tell me! Embarassed
