 |

I keep getting asked about how much I feed my cresteds so here's a photo from last nights feed. That one jug lasts one feed, they get 3 of these feeds a week and three feeds of dusted crickets.

That jug contains 4 heaped tablespoons of CGD powder, two tins of Banana baby food and then topped up with water and mixed into a runny mix with the same consistancy of water.
Within a few hours it thickens up a little, but most of it is it by then.

Crikey you have lots of mouths to feed...lol.
Have you tried the new version of the diet Scott? From what I have read on his forum, Allen (Repashy) has changed the ingredients so you can use it with fruit/baby food and it doesn't alter the nutrional balance. I think it's called gecko MRP base. If you have, do you know where to get it from over here?

Wow! It must take a while to feed all of your geckos.

Hi Jackie, not spoken to Allen for a while so not aware of it. I think the dilution of baby food I use is so small I could probably stop adding it in the first place...but old habits die hard  , I'll ask Marina to leave the Baby food out next time and see if they still eat it as quick 
I will look out for MRP though...

Takes about 10 minutes to feed them all (takes 15 minutes to wash all the little bowls up after  )
