I think i might try mine on some veggie puree, blitz up a few veggies and throw in some CGD see if he likes it or not. I suppose its a change. I remember reading somewhere that you can mix CGD with chicken baby food and with fruit baby food Confused

As for ratio i normally mix one part CGD with to parts mixer.

For calcium/phosphorus ratio for cresties, I have no idea Exclamation

Banana is only 0.3:1. And a firm favourite with alot of cresties. I think the crestie diet is quite different to other lizards where you would aim for a stable of 2:1.

I usually avoid foods with too much tannin or high in oxalic acids for other species. Or maybe use these foods as a treat.

Crestie diet is very different to that of other lizards, I suppose with me I always try to go for foods they would naturally find in the wild.

If your feeding gutloaded insects aswell, these I expect compensate.

I'm sure some others will have more thoughts and information on this. Very Happy
