Any other geckos with diets similiar to cresteds?

Well...the subject title says it all. :)

*Digs out of the day gecko book*

I believe day geckos have roughly the same diet requirements. They also eat fruit, crickets etc. Day geckos can have a problem with the chitin of mealworms if given, though. Apparently the chitin can lead to impactions. Day geckos are more of a pollen and nectar eating gecko.

Gargoyle Geckos have basically the same diet requirements as cresties, but they eat more insects, according to the species complete guide book :P

Most of the Rhacodactylus family have similar diets, leachies ,Gargoyle, chahoua etc..

Hmmmm, I guess I was of the thinking that the other Rhacs needed a lot more insects than fruit - like they were fed mainly insects.

well its a "similar" diet .. and cresteds should not be fed a diet of fruit alone.. some people may get by with doing this .. but IMO its not a proper diet

Thank you! :)

Actually, from what I remember with the Gargoyles, you just feed them insects twice a week instead of once. And they still get fruit and everything.

basically that is an outline of "someones prefered" feeding regimen what works for them... I hardly think a gargoyle in the wild is going to pass on a fat juicy bug because its "tuesday" " feed them what they will eat and what works best for you in your specific situation..... care sheets are a basic ... very basic guideline to go by

Yeah, I was basically quoting a passage in the Vosji book from memory.

Obviously, if a super yummy treat walk by the gecko in the wild, it's going to eat it.

Unless it's a spider in my living room. Apparently that is easily turn-downable, even if it plops right in front of your gecko face on the couch, because you know you can hold out for crickets. :P Robert, is "no bugs on Tuesday" like "no meat on Friday"? ;)
