Fresh Fruit For Cresties, Are these's ok?

i have a problem with my 7g crested, i use my finger and put a little on her lips, she will lick it off. works good to get them started.

Yes put your CGD in the fridge and when u get new...be sure to do it each time it make a huge difference keeping all the nutrition in it for them.

The tooth pick trick always works for little ones... I breed and sometimes a big finger coming at their little face scares them away so the tooth pick helps them smell the food and they will eat it right away. :gj:

I would do this a few times and feed him more often to help put weight on him. But as pointed out just because u don’t see them eating doesn’t mean they aren’t.

When a crestie is only a hatchling to 10 grams it only eats a tiny bit.

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear he is eating. :gj: Just be careful with the toothpick--I might file the end off a little or something so it's not too sharp or scratchy.
