Any Advice on perches? I mixed some repashy by the directions. 1 cup repashy 2 cups water. And I put them in bottle caps from sprite two liters right infront of there hides.

Am I forgetting something?

I would give them a lot more cover to hide in so they feel more secure. All the ones I had never used hides on the ground, but perched and slept in their plants and climbing things.

I always gave my Cresties a small water dish also, just in case, because I had seen some drink out of it.

Super cute by the way!

You can't see it but there's a small rock hide and s small rock water dish in each faunarium. Also the Fake plan and rubber Ice cube tray went in as clutter/perches. I set it so the foliage shaded the hide entrance.

Alright, I had no clue what the ice cube tray was doing in the picture haha :P

I was at the dollar tree searching for perches! I figure if they could climb egg crate they could clime it and maybe the fake plant to.

Few more pics

I placed them in separate vivs because I heard that was best. But alot of people have said you can house babies togather.

How true is this and when is it best to separate them if so?

Keep them separate. It is a lot easier to see if they are eating and pooping this way because some don't like the Crested Gecko diet so it's good to see if they are eating it.

ACK! I was hoping For Repashy to be my go to food, When should I expect to see droppings?

I mixed it like it said I think, I hope it was thick enough it coated the spoon. Then I spooned it into a sprice bottle cap and froze the rest in an ice cube tray. Is this right?

If They won't eat it I go to crickets and Mashed tropical fruit right? Can you use canned fruit or is that a no no?

I will keep them separate for sure. I think I spotted a little bug in one of the cages.

Did you get the regular Repashy food? Sometimes it takes them a little while to get used to it because if I remember correctly they changed something about the food that made it taste different and it wasn't a big hit but most Crestie's still gobble it up. They have different flavors other than the regular also.

You can mix a tiny bit of peach or mango baby food in with the Repashy, and then once they start eating it, you wean them off the baby food.

Most of the time my babies were pooping every day or every other day.

I put a very small amount of CGD in their bowls because then I would know if they were eating it because there would be tongue marks in it :P

I never froze mine, just made it every night and fed them, because they don't eat a lot. Maybe a couple licks a night.

I never fed fruits, Crestie's can live fine on just protein. Having them on only CGD will keep them healthy, they will just grow a lot slower. When I had my two babies, one didn't like bugs and the other was a bug loving fiend. They were the same age but the one who ate bugs was double the size of the one who didn't like them after a couple months.

I plan to do crickets once a week. Regular was all they had at the show, sadly I bought a big bag. He said they stopped making the two bag forumla cause people mixed it wrong. If I needed to mix fruit baby food how much should I mix per say 5 oz?

I freeze cause my job keeps me slightly busy and I heard it was a time saver.
