Crested Gecko Food

Has anyone heard of feeding the powdered crested gecko food in dry form, opposed to adding the water. I read on a website that it's okay to feed that way and that it lasts longer.

I've tried it that way, but you need to be careful. It was intended to be mixed with water so they can become dehydrated when you feed it to them dry. It does last longer, but I'd rather just mix it.

100% agree. I know in a video of Garrick Demayer's (most likely spelled wrong) collection, he chooses to feed completely dry food. I've asked this question before as well. Most geckos don't seem to enjoy it as much and you loose out on the hydration that the geckos receive from mixing it with water, as stated above.

I certainly always mix mine with water. I try to cram as much hydration into my geckos as I can.

Some definately have to be mixed with water. I always mix my repashy with water. I have seen a couple dry feeds. But.... I am a huge fan/ supporter of Repashy.
