Re: My first Crested Geckos
the only problem is when you ad things to the diet it throws it out of balance. I would only add things to it as a treat. I bred these guys for about 6 years and after seeing people mess their diets up it can shorten their life. I know you are not meaning harm, but its a complete diet and needs nothing else. The only other thing I would do is feed crickets dusted with the diet a couple times a week. Got my little guys use to the flavor so when it came to just eating the diet they took to it easier. I personally liked to use the gargoyle diet, wasn't as sweet as the other diets but had more protein and my hatchlings grew up quicker and bigger.

What kind of Crested Gecko Diet did you buy from Josh? Repashy CGD and Crested Gecko Diet are usually the same thing. If it is the Crested Gecko Diet Complete then it should not be mixed with anything other then water. Adding fruit will throw off the nutritunal balance of the food and increase the sugar content. If you purchased the Crested Gecko Diet base, then you can mix fruit in with it. It's just not an exact method and you never know if you adding too much fruit or not enough.

Unfortunately, Repashy doesn't make the gargoyle diet anymore.
